Song protection (plagiarism)

[lexman]

Hi all,

Maybe this topic excist but I couldn't find it.

I was wondering, many of you put some own ideas or even complete songs
on this great forum.
In case you did not plagiarismed (?) by yourself, and it is really your own idea and creativity, is that a 'solid evidence' that this is your work?

Not that I've such briljant ideas but for example Cold Play, Madonna or another big star hears one of your songs and uses it and makes millions.

With other words, is our work protected.

Regards,
Alex

I think of this once in a while - some of these cases seem clearcut to me - Very surprised with Cold Play ripping off Satriani(Not a Cold Play fan anyway), and Foo Fighters with Journey (Stone in Love was a staple in my early teens - Clearcut in my opinion)

Most of us have all done this before - It must be subliminal. I have actually caught myself and had to ditch a song once that I had worked for hours on(Not gonna say which one it was, but it was a song off Paranoid ) - absolute bummer...

My biggest disappointment so far though was this - Great song but it crushed me when I realized what I was hearing:

was that before nirvana or after

Seven or eight years before Nirvana even existed. This video was made in 1984 I think.

I'm a healthy Nirvana fan, so this is slightly disappointing...

I'm a Dave Grohl fan, too(Foo Fighters, but was Nirvana's drummer..) - The Journey thing disturbs me a little bit too...

i should no that, cos i always liked killing joke but never really got nirvana till much later so was not 100% sure when nirvana came around .

I just found out about Killing Joke from Tom R and You Tubed the hell out of them yesterday - cool band.

I dont get the Killing Joke/Nirvana connection? I listened to the video, but dont get which song is supposed to be plagiarized?
And Im also a lil stumped on which Foo Fighters song sounds like "Stone In Love"?

Ive heard the Coldplay and Satriani...and I can see that, but Im scratching my head on the above mentioned two songs.

Jesus... I haven't heard that Killing Joke track since the eighties!!!!! That's a blatant rip-off... not just in the notes, but in the guitar tone. Never made that connection - thanks!!!!

What a great band Killing Joke were. Especially 'Love like Blood'.

It's common knowledge that Cobain ripped off 'More than a feeling' for the Teen Spirit riff, but this is something else!!!!!

I know - It can really disappoint sometimes.


Sprocket, Ron - It was "Come As You Are with Nirvana" and the ending "Let it Die" with the Foo.
