Controversy with the song

On May 3, 2007, a Mexican Judge found that Juan Carlos Calderón, Luis Miguel and the record label Warner Bros. Records were guilty of plagiarism against Mexican composer Marcos Lifshitz. After six years of trial, the court ruled that "Amarte es un Placer" was in fact an unauthorized modification of the song "Siento Nuestro Aliento" ("I Feel Our Breath") written by Lifshitz. The artist, Juan Carlos Calderón and the label have to pay royalties to the original writer.[2]
