Los Angeles - Beyoncé and Jay Z have beaten a lawsuit over their song Drunk in Love because the track is a "constitutionally protected work of art". However, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Cynthia Kern dismissed the case because the singer was suing under the state Civil Rights Law, which only protects a "name, portrait, picture or voice used for advertising or trade purposes without written consent." She wrote: "Courts have consistently held that Civil Rights Law does not apply to works of literary and artistic expression.
