      That wasn’t stealing it was a nod to the movie because it was taken back then in the 50s when Marty was playing the song and it was meant to be a joke pay attention to the movie it was supposed to be the band were Marty saves them in back to the future he goes into his parents time doesn’t count sorry if you catch in the movie the one guy wasn’t able to play guitar because he cut his hand and it was banged so Marty step in because he was from the 80s and listen to the song Melvin who was chuck berry cousin got to listen to the song before it was released because Marty went back in time

      Well, the guy from Smashing Pumpkins took the guy from Collective Soul to court for plagiarising one of his songs. To be fair, if one listens to both songs, the similarity is obvious. The Smasing Pumpkins song was released first. However, the guy from Collective Soul was able to prove that he had written _his_ song first. Consequently, despite the obvious similarities, neither plagiarised the other. It was simply a case of two people having the same idea. Likewise, _Dani_ _California_ and _Mary_ _Jane's_ _Last_ _Dance_ are really similar. But Tom Petty's take on it was basically "Well, if they copied my riff, it just proves mybriffvwas a good one". Consequently, he didin't pursue it.

      Same thing I thought. "Players gonna play, haters gonna hate"... not really inventing the wheel there. Pretty much universal slang at this point, hell, even at that point, back then.
      & I was old enough to use it amongst my friends when 3LW (aka 3 Little Women🙃) sang about it, that's how I know. It wasn't this cool new saying, it had been in the culture's lexicon for quite some time.

      Finanancially no but artistically, of course .. The Avalanches namechecked about a thousand artists on their first record. Beastie Boys were in a similar situation with Paul's Boutique ... they paid some artists and missed others and also the Dust Brothers who produced the record had already stolen some beats which the band didn't know about so there was some-retro-payments and lawsuits. It seems like total garbage if Radiohead say they didn't know they were thieving from the Hollies, and even more with Lana Del Rey.... if you're interested....it's G / B / C/ Cmin

    #1- I don't really hear it...
    #2- Yeah, I get that one.
    #3- Yep, and they admit it, so....
    #4- I mean, the beat is kind of a standard "dance" beat, and the chords in the background are similar, but I wouldn't say its a rip off.
    #5- Other than similar words (which are not exactly unique...) no similarity at all.. nah.
    #6- I mean, it is admittedly a sample, but to call it a rip off? nah
    #7- Yeah, somewhat similar, but not enough to call it a rip off IMO
    #8- Yeah... in modern day terms, this would probably be a "cover"
    #9- Definitely a similar riff. Hard to deny that one.
    #10- meh... inspiration, yeah... Rip-off? Nah

    Men at Work didnt rip off Kookaburra, it was purely unintentional and he wrote the melody because it fit the song. These sort of cases go through court all the time. How many times has Ed Sheeran been taken to court for this exact reason. U2 took someone to coourt over the sound of a snare drum this artist sampled from U2. There are only so many notes in the western musical scale so of course there will be overlaps and similar sounding songs.

    I'm no Taylor Swift stan, but I think the thing with the 3LW suit is absurd in two ways. First off, I would be inclined to believe that she thought that the thing which would have been common vernacular when she wrote the song was just a common phrase. That said, even if you could prove she HAD heard the other song, at best they have her basically making a fair use reference to a phrase in a song that had already been in pop culture for over a decade (which is,then, STILL her just using "a common phrase") That suit was kind of equivelant to if Eminem decided to sue everyone that makes any kind of entertainment talking about someone being a stan, because the slang use of the phrase is based on his song.

    It's a little tough for the audience to tell when this video doesn't even show the most similar parts of some of the songs. Like the Crocodile Rock part that most clearly ripped off the original song was the "La la la" part.

    Kookaburra is a LOT older than the "kid's song" from recent times. In fact it goes back to 1932. Plus, it was a minor Top-40 hit in the 1960s here in America.

    Down Under - Wavelength Harmonization. Adjusting the tempo is something you can't with the turntable pitch control.
    The Bad Touch - indie label without money up front.
    Surfing USA - Birth of a Gospel.
    I Got a Feeling - Grammy contending usage or the same damn equipment.
    Shake it Off - Scooter didn't make it. Words are rhetorical from the entourage.
    All you need is love - was made in 1967 nine years before the Copyright Act of 1976. 1790 was the first federal American law for copyright modeled after the Statute of Anne and other books in 1709.
    Crocodile Rock - potato potauto
    Lastly, we do multi stage festivals so rock back then was like an open mic.

    I don’t think you should be able to sue for a lot of these songs. Because you have to really go out of your way to listen and hear exact portions that are exactly the same now Led Zeppelin they stole that because they stole the melody and lyrics though I do enjoy Led Zeppelin’s version more anyway the Taylor Swift one didn’t make any sense and that number 10 one didn’t make any sense either paradise city and zero to hero the rift was similar, but not so much where it deserved a lawsuit I don’t think you should be able to sue for this unless you did the exact melody throughout the whole song or use the exact lyrics throughout the whole song.
