Is it a rip off? Part 1

[thundertower]

omg go fuck yourself

[interrogacaoproduc]

You could also add to the list All Around the World by Oasis, in the end of the song

[lonegroover]

If interested in ripoffs, check out the Noisettes' "Never Forget You" and the Walker Brothers' "When You're Without Love"

[Richmarkhill78]

You mean "The Sun Don't Shine Anymore?" Yeah, I thought I recognised that melody - nice find!

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

i have no idea who this fudgepacker travis driftwood is but

LOVE LIVE BLUR!!!!!

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

ive heard both these in entirety and it really seems like its just that one part

[Richmarkhill78]

That's true, but theft is theft no matter how much you steal. :)

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

true: kinda like the guisy ferrari vs alter bridge situation.

[TaiFerret]

But this isn't theft. The part isn't removed from the original.

[Richmarkhill78]

Read the other comments, almost everyone I've spoken to agrees this is plagiarism, from the melody to the lyrics this part of the song has been ripped off. You're welcome to disgree, but you'd be alone.

[TaiFerret]

I didn't say it wasn't plagiarism. Theft and plagiarism are two different things. It is theft if the original owner doesn't have it anymore.

[Richmarkhill78]

Plagiarism - the act of plagiarizing; taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own. eg. theft, infringement, copying etc.

Sorry you're wrong, I suggest you revaluate words and their true meanings. :)

[TaiFerret]

plagiarism

1. The act of plagiarizing: the copying of another person's ideas, text, or other creative work, and presenting it as one's own, especially without permission.

2. Text or other work resulting from this act.

theft

1. The act of stealing property.

Very different things if you ask me.

[Richmarkhill78]

You're mistaking assuming the word theft can only apply to inanimate objects or land. Theft can come in many forms, stealing someone's idea or text is theft. If you're taking copyrighted material and repackaging it for your own financial gain that's THEFT! :)

I appreciate you're from the Netherlands and there's some what of a translation problem, but seriously you're so wrong it's getting a bit cringing now.

[dommyl]

@Richmarkhill78 no he wouldn't

its about 5 seconds, and not an inspired section of music, easy for two different people to come up with something similar.

i don't really care, just chill out. there's only 12 notes and poeple make of them what they can. plagiarisms an underhand thing, btu everyone's effected by what they here, hence genres, they don't happen by coincidence

[Richmarkhill78]

@dommyl 5 seconds, 2 mins, 10mins at what point does it become acceptable to steal?

You care enough to watch the video and comment, this video is 2 years old mate, I was chilled when I made it and I'm chilled now. Thank you.

[888music]

Just because something sounds similar does not mean it is plagiarism. Most songs in popular music use similar chord progression and there are only 12 notes to choose from so the chance that someone will write something similar to someone else is very likely.

[Richmarkhill78]

Not only does it sound similar, the melody and the lyrics are more or less identical.

[888music]

True, true - they are very similar.

[meganne55]

AAHHHHH!!

the blurs better

[exposecopycats]

from this short clip yeah sounds the same

[bigsmokebass]

totally agree with the same comments below

[bono22albarn]

i do believe its plagerism.

[inirapsag1]

plagerism.
