Message: [QUOTE="Adrastia, post: 268186, member: 781"] It's not that strange when you look at certain things outside of music. So many cultures independently invented the bow and arrow for instance. There are only so many ways to combine sounds. So eventually we are gonna hear some soundalikes. It's only a problem when someone blatantly steals. Led Zeppelin was the subject of a lawsuit because of plagiarism claims made by Taurus over Stairway to Heaven sounding too much like Spirt. Zeppelin won the suit. But some people feel the outcome was unfair. Willie Dixon also sued the band over A Whole Lotta Love. It was settled out of court. A lot of classic rock music is directly influenced by American blues and these artists weren't always properly credited. In the case of Willie Dixon, he was already ripped off by his publishing during his career and then Zeppelin goes and makes a frankensong based on two of Dixon's songs and doesn't even list his name on the album. I'll also add (and I don't think it's direct plagiarism) that parts of Judgement in the Sixtieth Year - Fate of Sixty Years from the Touhou game Phantasmagoria of Flower View sounds very similar to Pigs (Three Different Ones) by Pink Floyd [MEDIA=youtube]0kMyTYcmvJw[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]gZM1WQKwpl0[/MEDIA] I think it's just a coincidence on Zun's part. Unless he's a big Pink Floyd fan. [/QUOTE]
