One of the most popular holiday songs of all time is being legally challenged by a country music songwriter who claims copyright infringement over “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”<\/p>\n
Mariah Carey and co-writer Walter Afansieff are named in the lawsuit by songwriter Andy Stone, who claims his \u201cAll I Want For Christmas Is You\u201d by Vince Vance & the Valiants from 1989 is being infringed. Stone filed his papers in the US District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana.<\/p>\n
While the songs have the same title, there is only a hint of Carey’s melody or lyrics beyond the title call-out.<\/p>\n
