Song Lawsuits:
"Nobody" by Wonder Girls
The song has been a subject of several lawsuits involving JYP Entertainment, a talent agency for the girl group, and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the publishers behind the Wonder Girls single, taking legal action against other Asian musical groups who had adopted or covered "Nobody" without prior permission. The Korean talent agency states that groups in China, Cambodia and Thailand have been blatantly copying the group, down to the songs, dances and costumes.
