Sky was taken to court in early 2014 on the grounds that Must Be the Music infringed upon a programme idea developed by a couple several months earlier. The couple alleged the programme had copied their ideas to have contestants perform original songs, have songwriters as judges, use coloured badges, and to make performances available for download immediately after each episode. The judge found that this didn't amount to a fully-realised format that might (possibly) be protected under law. There were also some differences from the complainants' format: open auditions, no record industry involvement, heats and a final rather than the "whittle" process seen on The X Factor. The judge in the case ruled that Sky had demonstrated that Must Be the Music had been developed independently, primarily as none of the commissioners saw the complainants' document, and thus ruled in Sky's favour.
