What is it with composers and plagiarism?

Apr 22, 2010 23:23

I just read this:

http://www.omgkpop.com/news/general/3232-lee-hyori-faces-multiple-plagiarism-accusations.

and the only thing I could think of was why isn't everyone completly flipping out?

I mean, I get if the composer samples a few beats but this is practically a Korean cover of earlier songs, and while I don't have a problem with covers when so called "covers" are introduced as the "Comeback of the Queen of Pop," it's kind of sad...

I can't wait to see what'll happen to Hyori, I'm not an anti but when I remember how everyone was freaking out over few seconds of similarity between G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" and Flo Rida's "RIght Round," I still get pissed...
Same with Ynot and C.N. Blue because I still can't hear how the two songs are the same...maybe I'm tone deaf :)

But this article made me really curious as to what will happen to Hyori because I wasn't even aware of the amount of plagiarism cases against her...As much as I like her, I really don't want for her to get off the hool for such blatant copying!

g-dragon, kpop, plagiarism, rant, big bang
