Same Basslines..

just noticed when i heard :

"Pink - Stupid Girls (Hanis Stupid Remix)"

that the bassline is stolen from :

"Dave Mccullen - B*tch."

why do some producers have to steal from others in order to make their song sound better?!

*(&^!*%@*^%#

How exactly does one come to own a bassline?

a lot of music is recycled, sometimes you can tell, other times no, and that's where top 10 hits come from.

Right. So before writing a piece of music, you must listen to every track ever written to make sure you're not going to replicate something?

First of all, you can't possibly know that. Second, it's irrelevant.

No, it really isn't.

You do realize that baselines, besides percussion, are the simplest notations of the entire track?

They're designed very repetitively with few notes usually; this thread is just stupid.

It's like saying that psy tracks with the machine gun bassline (that's ALL OF THEM lol) are ripping off of each other.

basslines are unlike melodies, you will find that the majority of tracks have the same basslines. for example the offbeat bassline used mostly in uplifting trance has been used in uncountable tracks. i would hardly call it copying or stealing.
