Yeah but still , if someone is rubbing themselves with cash (dramatization) for something they said they would reward you for , you would be rather pissed off.

I'd be interested if this would actually hold up as a melody in court, rather than a chord in arpeggio form. If you take just the high notes of the pattern, it's not exactly a catchy melody.

I'm thinking it would be pretty safe to rip something like this note for note and release it as your own song, I don't think there's anything copyrightable in there. A song like '9pm (til I come)' has an obvious copyrightable melody. This one doesn't, to my ears.

Everything is being done from scratch. Just had the vocals covered and got those in. Pitched them up to C Major in Melodyne which differentiates it from the original in that respect. Everything else will be created from scratch. I'm not as concerned about a lawsuit as I am the damage it could have it on me. Like I said, I didn't know the label was having remixes done until after the fact, and if I'm putting a cover out and they're putting new remixes out I'm pretty sure they're going to be pist.

its hard to know who is telling the truth..

in that forum that proud dude never said it was his riff.

butt he supposdly did say he would give credit..

but also the 'victim' wouldnt show the other emails.

dont know who to beleive.


i was thinking.. do you rekon people hang out on the promotion part of this forum and still riffs lol?

This happened a while back with Elements Of Life. Some guy claimed he sent Tiesto a demo with the melody and then EOL comes out with his melody. LOL

If I remember right a melody can't be copyrighted?

Sounds like someone learned a hard lesson.

History does like to repeat itself?

All music is a built of others knowledge and work, from the synthesizer access made, the patch he is playing that howard scarr made, the 12note pentatonic scale he uses, to the very way he plays that scale.. he wouldn't just come up with a trance lead on his own, he owes his environment, people around him, and people before him for that. Anything else is vanity. He should just be happy the song was created, for music's sake.

I believe it was someone on this board who first introduced me to the fact that the concept of intellectual property was nonsense and slows the progression of all fields.. Our culture really is sick.. that G.P. guy probably just didn't want to share profits.

Melodies and lyrics can be copyrighted. Chord progressions, sounds, rhythmic elements and other aspects of a song can't be copyrighted.

The trouble with a lot of trance is, they don't technically have melodies. A song like 9pm (til I come) absolutely has a copyrightable melody. But a lot of trance songs have lead progressions/lines which you may be able to reproduce by putting chords through an arpeggiator. These "lead lines" can't be copyrighted, since any number of people could inadvertently run the same chords through a similar arpeggio pattern. True melodies can be, and are, copyrighted.
