Stealing Songs

Fraser	Date: August 7, 2006 @ 8:58 PM Has anybody actually heard of someone stealing someone elses song(s), and producing it? Not just stealing already produced music, but taking unproduced music.
imemine	Date: August 7, 2006 @ 9:20 PM “My Sweet Lord” by George Harrison was taken to court as plagiarism saying it was “He's So Fine” recorded by the Chiffons. John Fogerty got sued for sounding too much like himself! No---I just felt like talking. Why?
evansorchid	Date: August 7, 2006 @ 9:30 PM I seem to recall that Milli Vanilli was sued by some 'working class' guy because he claimed that he wrote whatever that song was that became popular. I think he won the lawsuit and collected royalties.
BOWILLIE	Date: August 7, 2006 @ 10:09 PM i heard micheal jordans lookalike sue him for being micheal jordan..true story

EchoMinor	Date: August 7, 2006 @ 10:51 PM sure it could happen, some people are desperate to get fame, fortune, women...even if that means stooping down to the level of belly button lint.

morchilp	Date: August 8, 2006 @ 8:58 AM hit the lights - metallica the intro is a slayer song (aggressive perfector) and metallica is stealing a lot of songs cause of their fame and cause nobody will sue them because metallica will take them down..and lots of other bands are stealing songs making them their own . or taking classical music and making it into metal (angels holocaust- Iced earth which the intro music is from Karl Orff)
kingo	Date: August 8, 2006 @ 9:04 AM Fraser, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you talking about taking a song written by someone and actually recording that song and claiming authorship? evansorchid: the thing with Milli Vinilli was that the people who did the singing on the album weren't the guys in the videos.
BOWILLIE	Date: August 8, 2006 @ 10:43 AM even lennon himself claimed to pinch* ideas from songs he liked. a natural process in the creation flow i suppose..one idea begets another.. been know to do that myself.. ultimately is comes down to applieing influences i think.

GTOriginal	Date: August 8, 2006 @ 10:58 AM The Doors were sued in England and lost - The Kinks stated that "Hello I Love You" was a rippoff of "All Day And All Of The Night". Personally I think the ABC song oughtta sue Twinkle Twinke, and Barney the Dinosaur oughtta pay This Old Man...
