Pelham in 2019

Moses Pelham (born 24 February 1971 in Frankfurt) is a German rapper, singer and producer.

In 1993, together with Thomas Hofmann in Frankfurt, he started the Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt. Pelham is a member of the German band Glashaus. In 2019, in a lawsuit against the German band Kraftwerk, Pelham lost a groundbreaking in the European Court of Justice for unauthorised sampling.^[1][2][3][4] The ruling means that samples which are recognisable infringe copyright law where no permission has been sought from the rightsholder. However, there is no infringement if the sample is unrecognisable. The case was referred back to the German court who gave the final decision.^[5] The German court decided that the sample was recognisable, and therefore ultimately, Pelham lost his 20 year legal saga.^[6]
