According to <a href="http://misstilaomg.com/2010/06/25/exclusive-playboy-tells-drake-hes-fallin-in-love-with-the-best-hes-ever-had/#more-12476" target="_blank">misstilaomg.com</a>, the suit accuses Drake, Cash  Money, and Universal of Copyright Infringement. Specifically, the <a class="iAs" style="font-weight: normal ! important; font-size: 100% ! important; text-decoration: none ! important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #ff6600 ! important; padding-bottom: 0px ! important; color: #ff6600 ! important; background-color: transparent ! important; background-image: none; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt;" href="http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.11576/title.drake-sued-by-playboy#" target="_blank">song<img style="display: inline ! important; height: 10px; width: 10px; position: relative; top: 1px; left: 1px; padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt; float: none; border: 0pt none;" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif" alt="" /></a> sampled at the beginning of Drake's hit song, "Best I Ever Had," is  allegedly property of Playboy Music, Inc. and Playboy Enterprises.

The song in question is "Fallin' In Love," by Hamilton, Joe Frank and  Dennison/Reynolds. The suit claims that the defendants “knew or should have reasonably known, that  the sound recording was  protected by copyright…” and that “each  Defendant continues to infringe  upon Plaintiff’s rights in and to the  copyrighted sound recording.”

The goal of the suit is to get the court to issue an injunction,  which mean the defendants would be forced to stop selling/distributing  the song, and to stop profiting from it. In addition, the Drake and the  others would be required to account for all profits, gains and  advantages made from the song, and pay costs and attorney's fees.

More on this as it develops.
