Mujoe's Theme is literally the Seinfeld theme, just a little faster and with slightly different pitch.

SKA-P has a lot of songs, I can't remember which one, but Eromanga's ending is definitely ripped off from one of them

Probably because it's so fucking obvious, and the song is pretty old.

>>157277594
this is the only one that's actually sketchy, since I find it hard to believe anyone actually asked Iwasaki to include their favourite Chemicle Brothers song or whatever. He probably heard it one day and forgot it then years later remembered the sound but not the source. Happens to me all the time and I'm not even musically inclined.

>>157277569
Just like OP's is obviously Seinfeld's theme, and Seinfeld is "pretty old" to some people.

OP's example isn't "based off of", its literally the Seinfeld theme.

You want him to make something completely original and defeat the point? I don't think you understand the purpose of a soundtrack.

And it's not literally the Seinfeld theme you deaf retard, but it's certainly close enough to be recognizable which is almost certainly the fucking intention. I don't know if there were any godamn Seinfeld references in the bomberman anime but I doubt you do either so what the fuck is the complaint here?

Thus, copyright infringement.

Do you seriously believe that deliberately copying something in it's entirety is ok, but accidentally using a couple notes from one of the many things you've taken inspiration from is bad?

If you actually used this as a defence in a copyright lawsuit, the claimants would fucking laugh at you.
There's a reason that when westerners make spoof songs, they actually compose a brand new song that isn't a 1:1 copy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfreemrK_c0

A lot of these are just references, aren't they? I mean >>157277936
>>157277893 in particular sound like Taniuchi just listened to a bunch of Aphex Twin and thought "hey I'll throw in some familiar melodies". It's not like the songs are ripped off wholesale, he just quotes the melodies and goes in his own direction with them, which I think is fine.

>>157277970
>Thus, copyright infringement.
Not in japan.
>but accidentally using a couple notes from one of the many things you've taken inspiration from is bad?
When did I say that?

>>157277979

>If you actually used this as a defence in a copyright lawsuit, the claimants would fucking laugh at you.

But I'm not using this as a defense in a copyright lawsuit for fuck's sake. I'm saying this as an anon who wants to justify enjoying the music. And again, that Seinfeld ripoff IS a new song. It's very similar, maybe too similar to hold up in court under US copyright law, but it's clearly an "original" (read: newly composed/performed, disregard the artistic integrity for a second) for the sake of the show.

You think when I said "sketchy" I meant "this is a crime"? I was saying it was suss, man. That the poster might have a point in that it's ripping something off knowingly or not. That Iwasaki threw it in on its own. It's a case that I'd find it hard to defend, too. The part that's similar is just lifted wholesale from the CB track and dropped into the middle of an original track, so I dunno. I don't think it's a huge fuckin' deal, but I wouldn't say it's A-OK either.

>>157278204
I read nothing into your words. You explicitly stated in >>157277700 that copying something because you're told to a couple months after it becomes popular is OK, but hearing something and accidentally reproducing something similar years later isn't.
>Fair enough, you got me there.
And I will continue to do so if you keep replying. Learn when to shut up, kid.

this shows your belief that ripping something off intentionally because you're told to is not ripping off.

"this is the only one that's actually sketchy, since I find it hard to believe anyone actually asked Iwasaki to include their favourite Chemicle Brothers song or whatever. He probably heard it one day and forgot it then years later remembered the sound but not the source. Happens to me all the time and I'm not even musically inclined."
This shows your belief that accidentally reproducing something they took inspiration from is sketchy.

>>157277504
Ska all sounds the same, what's your point?

>>157278546
>this shows your belief that ripping something off intentionally because you're told to is not ripping off.
It's making fun of people overreacting for fuck's sake. You ARE reading into my words, despite claiming to not be.
I'm not saying anything about the legality or the morality regarding that practice, just that it's probably what's happening.

>This shows your belief that accidentally reproducing something they took inspiration from is sketchy.
Sketchy in the legal sense, man. I already explained what I thought was a pretty neutral statement here >>157278204


This argument is fucking stupid because it's completely devolved into semantic bullshit.

>>157278658
>I'm not saying anything about the legality or the morality regarding that practice, just that it's probably what's happening.
Actually, addenum: What I'm saying is that the overreaction to one song being clearly based on another is silly, because it's not a malicious attempt to take the music as their own and pretend like they're the sole originator of it.

But have fun trying to explain how you were just being ironic when you said that 150 posts before your totes serious post in >>157278204

Also, to preempt you just in case, I'm gainfully employed and can continue as long as you want with very little repercussion to myself. I am about to run low on booze, though.

>>157278809
Look man, I don't know what to tell you. Everything I've got to say is on the table. Go read my posts in order and sleep on it if you need to. At this point I've completely lost track of what point you're even trying to make and I'm not entirely confident you can't say the same about my posts, so whatever. Don't go spinning your wheels for too long.
