>>61740459
i'll let him away with this.
>>61740577
it feels like we only go backwards is so barely similar to this, like at all. always makes me laugh that they thought they had a case.
>>61740351
>>61740459
I mean yeah. They share similar rhythms. That's it though. I was expecting Led Zeppelin tier harmonic theft, not just a highly probable coincidence.
>>61740620
>this could legit hold up in a court of law, like holy fuck.
Might as well ban drums, people are going to steal your rhythms.
At what point does influence turn into plagiarism
>>61740651
it's the compounding of that beat, those backing chords and the chorus melody. there's no way you could argue james murphy didn't notice the effectiveness of those three elements and thus consciously lifted them for his own song. christ.
>>61740459
That was actually sampled with permission
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclrtPUquhQ
>>61740688
If you make a song with two chords, somebody else is going to inadvertently "write" the same song. Get over your innate hatred and come up with some valid criticism. Christ.
>>61740671
Influence is like Joy Division on Radiohead. Tight rhythmic section, bleak introspective lyrics, downbeat but propulsive tone, etc.
Plagiarism is basically stealing exact musical ideas, maybe modifying them slightly, and not crediting the original creator. OP's example isn't so bad. Look into Led Zeppelin and what they stole, that's probably a better example.
>>61740564
Yes that's what I wrote
It is 100% ok to steal elements for your music.
>>61740351
I made this thread yesterday. heres what I got.

>>61740737
the distinctive polyrhytmic beat, the 196 BMP, the unusual two-beat chord progression of Bb and G minor, the ascend-descend melodic motif are not the exact same in each song because "hurrr durrrrr yr bound to ripp someone off! ders only so much music!1". Murphy is undoubtedly similar with the Jamaica Running track from his DJing days, it being a new-wave protodisco track. His song is better, but if you think he didn't rip-off the original than you're just a delusional fanboy.
>>61740897
Clear influence but far from a ripoff
There is literally nothing wrong with this. If someone can improve your song then maybe you should have made a better song.
Guys, pls don't bully James Murphy. He's one hurt feeling away from suicide.
I worry about the guy. I really do.
Didn't Avril Lavigne get some shit over that song girlfriend.
And Springsteen got some shit over a song too.
He ripped off that 867-5309 song.
>>61740897
he basically just stole melodys. im fine with this.
>>61741008
He just reunited his band to rake in those sweeet sweet benjamins. I think old James "Penny Eyes" Murphy will be juuuuuuust fine.
>>61740941
>delusional fanboy
Perhaps you should just get off your high horse and shut up. You're not terribly convincing, just condescending. Perhaps you should consider that when formulating your next argument.
>>61740897
Everybody knows the Heroes one though. That's an Eno/Bowie homage, not a ripoff. Half of LCD's catalog is pastiche/homage, that's one of the main elements of his work. No one calls New Order a rip off and they broke with a mashup of Kraftwerk and gay disco. It's the same thing.
>>61740941
Did James Murphey touch you in a naughty place?
>>61741019
Avril paid an out of court settlement...she visited them and rode them, hard. And swallowed every drop.
>>61741035
The band probably spends most of the time in the recording booth wrestling with Murphy in order to get that razor out of hands so that he doesn't slit his wrists.
They probably only got back together because Murphy's therapist recommended it "to give Murphy some purpose".
>>61740897
new found appreciation for Drunk Girls. to be honest.
>>61740897
I realised about Drunk Girls like a month ago, they're really similar.
>>61741044
>>61740897
I can see similarities between All I Want and Heroes, but calling it a ripoff is kind of grasping at straws.
>>61741057
i love james, it's just obvious he stole the shit out of that song.
>>61741132
Then why say shit like that? You just come off as a foaming-at-the-mouth anti-fan
>>61741070
And now I have to fap...
who cares? The dude is shit. The only real question is, "Why is he so popular in the first place?"
>>61740351
Is this credited anywhere? If not this is fact borderline theft, from the rhythm to the chords it sounds eerily similar.
>>61740351
Definitely agree there are some ridiculous similarities here, but said similarities kind of fade away once you get further into each individual song and new elements are added.
When the higher octave synth comes in on The Pool, it doesn't really sound that much like Dance Yrself Clean anymore, apart from the bass line of course.
>>61741150
because plagiarism is a genuinely interesting topic and i was interesting in exploring why and how we plagiarised it. it's conducive to actual musical discussion as opposed to some lame "hey love good old james alone" or "there's only so many songs" circlejerking. he stole the song and that's fine. the appropriate counter argument is that, yes, the man clearly consciously stole from another artist, but he made a far, far better song. then we a learn a little something and we've had a fun discussion.
>>61741168
Losing My Edge. NYC Hipsters loved it when he listed off those bands. Guaranteed 2% of people actually knew all of them but everyone loved to pretend .

Anybody have the youtube link to the band that blatantly ripped off My Bloody Valentine's "Come in Alone"? They stole the drums, the guitar melody, everything. Just a different vocal melody.
>>61741300
It really doesn't help your case if everyone just perceives you as a smug asshole. And since you seem to think so highly of yourself and what your opinions are worth, I thought you'd like to know.

Do people seriously believe "same chord progression" = song theft or ripoff?
>>61741435
when it basically makes Everlong the song that it is than yeah .
>>61741466
When the two songs are wildly different and not even in the same genre, you genuinely believe this?
Also the wording in this post and the post you deleted sounds like you think The Radio Dept. came first?

>>61741489
the soundcloud i posted the youtube but ice ice baby and under pressure had a huge lawsuit because of the same riff. espcially an iconic song like everlong why fuck with it if someone came out with a song with seven nation army riff it would be a rip off no matter how you look at it
>>61741514
check ur ears m8
Much too much like Kraftwerk; "Autobahn". Tempo, minimalistic, melodies, electronic instrumentation, phrasing and mood. Not cool Grimes.
>>61741542
If the two songs are wildly different then it's retarded to care about. Don't fall for the trap of labels milking as much money as they can whenever possible.
>>61740642
exactly this is nothing like the stairway to heaven steal
>>61741368
m8 there's a finite number of chord progressions that are listenable, there were probably 100 songs before everlong made by nobodies with the same one
>>61741356

>>61742540
Which film?
>>61742515
I think they knew it was there last album, and he wanted to close it out as like a thank-you to all of his influences. i think. there was an interview i found a long time ago where he talked about it.
>>61742657
or you know you can read the lyrics and he says this retard

>>61741791
they aren't that similar
for one, the piano riff in nightclubbing is different and more involved
the melody is the only thing they have in common, and even then it's not even that similar

>>61744854
it's MOONSHAKE BY CAN
ok here is the tracklist for "this is happening"
>>61747736
you can tell he sat there thinking about how to rip off night clubbing

I think you guys are reading too much into it
Which is exactly the problem with this website
116 years of modern music of course some similarities between different songs.
You guys hear one LCD Soundsystem song with the same melody as White Light/White Heat and think you exposed James Murphy as the secret maestro of plagiarism whose cunning was broken by your amazing powers of youtube and deduction.
Come on, senpai.

>expecting any better from /mu/
isn't the whole point of LCD to basically recreate the vibe of james' djing days at hipster bars where he'd play stuff that was untypical for clubs but still got people dancin'? it's always been about james putting his own spin on his favorites and introducing people to a bigger world of music, wearing influences on his sleeve but making something completely new out of it, right? i vaguely remember pitchfork's review for "all i want" calling it a tribute to "heroes"
too lazy to find it but $uicideboy$ stole an entire three six mafia verse ver batim, they also get all their samples from the memphis generals here
>>61748475
theres a term for that, its called plagiarizing
>>61748886
If the outcome is different then it's a tribute or homage, and that's true for 100% of the links in here. James has never ever hidden what LCD is about and neither have the critics.
not calling this one a rip off but...

no anon, tribute or homage is done to credit someone or something, plagiarizing is to take someones elses ideas and exploit them ie make money off them without admitting the influence of, just like what james does over and over

Are you a musicologist? People who aren't musicologists (aka the legally recognized authority on what constitutes plagiarism in actual court cases) often overestimate how much their own negligible creative talents give them perspective on these issues. Probably why so many shitty musicians defend their obvious theft.
Let me guess, you've never studied copyright law and have absolutely no experience, and you play in a shitty band so you think you must have any idea what you're talking about.

All music is like that man, things are only new because you never heard it before but notes are like an infinite stream you get to borrow pieces from. All artists fish in the same pond but they all make something different out of the same thing. What AnCo did with that is definitely an evolution.
OK Sure but how many of these bands in this thread are aware of eachother?

Shit guys, sorry. I thought everyone on here knew about this because someone on yt commented "Adobe slabs" on the Frankie knuckles song. Panda is a big fan of house music and when I first heard Your Love, the idea that he'd pay homage to such a song didn't surprise me at all. Hey if it makes you feel any better...basically what this guy said >>61750530

except notes are finite
there's only 12 of em
using an arpeggio of the c major chord with similar instrumentation can hardly be considered plagiarizing. Homage definitely.

tom petty - learning to fly

I'm prettty sure it's the exact same chords and progression and Grohl even straight up rips off the background vocals from the chorus of LTF,
>when the wheel's come down (when the wheels come down)
>i'm learning to fly (learning to fly)
Grohl probably tries to play it off like it's a tribute
>b-but i love Petty, man!
>he asked me to play drums for him once, i s-swear!
