Texas-based plaintiffs Joshua Fraustro and Miguel Aguilar (Kemika1956) claim their 2021 song "Greasy Frybread," performed by Sten Joddi and released through Tattoo Muzik Group Studios, was used without permission. The song gained notable exposure through FX's Reservation Dogs series, appearing in season one's fourth episode.

Key points of the lawsuit:

  • The allegedly infringed work has been available on platforms including Spotify
  • FX released an official music video for "Greasy Frybread" on YouTube
  • The plaintiffs allege vicarious and contributory infringement, unfair competition, and misappropriation
  • They seek temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent further distribution of "Enough (Miami)"
  • The lawsuit demands damages and attorneys' fees from all defendants

This case joins recent high-profile music industry lawsuits, including Drake's merchandise dispute over "Members Only" t-shirts, Louis Vuitton and Pharrell Williams' Pocket Socks controversy, and the major labels' actions against AI platforms Suno and Udio for alleged copyright violations.
