First listen to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW3QK6CTg2g). This is "Teh Place I'll Return to Someday" from Final Fantasy IX, released in 1999. Cool music, eh??

Now go to Amazon.com: God is a Moog: Gershon Kingsley: Music (http://www.amazon.com/God-Moog-Gershon-Kingsley/dp/B000BYAC5I) and listen to sample 2 on disc 2 "Shabbat For Today (Micho Mochu)"... This was written in 1972. Sounds awfully similar.

Noobuo Uematsu is a theif!

Your mother is a thief....

There is NOTHING new under the sun...

Are yuo nazi?? Your signature says yes!

You a n00b?

Your posts say all hella yeah!

STFU

Dear Adolph Hitler,

The subject of this topic is plagiarism in music. Since you have nothing useful and/or interesting to say you're advised to

1) GTFO
2) STFU
3) Convert to islam
4) Stop being ghey
5) Drink poison
6) Jump from a cliff

Sincerely yours,

Silent Ed

Okay, I just went and listened carefully to both tracks.
Not the same music. They have an identical tempo, and a vaguely similar melody, but not enough to stand up in any court. Their arrangements are significantly different, with the final fantasy piece being classic Renaissance (ish. A music expert could place the time period more precisely.)
To argue that it is the same music requires two things. First, that they are the same melody (which they aren't. I've just spent the last few days closely listening to different bits of music that are really similar, but not the same. Things like this can be maddeningly close, but they are not, in fact, the same.) Second, even if they were the melody were the same, that the composer had come across it. While I don't expect that he lived his life in a mayonnaise jar, this is a little off the beaten path. A composer is more likely to have heard it than the average Joe walking down the street, but you still need something more, like a look at his record collection, or an interview where he discusses influences and experiences.

When held to the standard of say, "She's So Fine," against "My Sweet Lord," it's not even close.

What it sounds like he actually did was listen to court music from the Middle Ages and write something in the general style. That's not considered theft.

As for the other comments, I have no interest in getting involved.

Sincerely,
JonC

Dear Adolph Hitler,
Hitler WISHES he could be a cool as me...silly little half-breed w/no artistic talent killing off his family.

The subject of this topic is plagiarism in music.
Which I say has little probability - inspiration and plagiarism is different - also, the title of this thread is met to evoke an emotional, not rational, response.
This makes you look bias and foolish.

Since you have nothing useful and/or interesting to say
iHAVE LOADS of useful and/or interesting things to say!
You just haven't allowed me to, as of yet.


you're advised to
1) GTFO
Get the Female Orgasm?
I wish! I'm male so I can only have one orgasm per 'cycle'. Women get it good w/the multi-orgasms...


2) STFU
Show The French Up?
Not all that hard, the only time they've ever won a war is when they've gotten someone non-French to do the leading/fighting...
Also, their women don't shave, which is kind of nasty.


3) Convert to islam
Why would I convert to a comic book story?
Silly child, aren't you a bit too old to have imaginary friends?


4) Stop being ghey
I've never heard of 'ghey' - unless you're using 'gay' as a pejorative - then I'd ask YOU to stop being a bigot, bloody kike.


5) Drink poison
No thanks, I'm not a big fan of booze myself...though I do enjoy LISTENING to Poison.


6) Jump from a cliff
I've actually DONE that...it was kind of scary...
<---Is afraid of heights...
But after you've "glided" in the air, it's pretty fucking epic!


Sincerely yours,
Silent Ed
It's so nice to see kids these days having manners!



WINNING...

!...YAY...!




Also, this thread is now 20% Cooler!

Oh Tanis, you never cease to amuse me <3

So, what makes you cool exactly?? The fact that you fap on Chinese porno cartoons??

Excuses. You respond "emotionally" because yuor nazi ideology doesn't allow you to acknowledge the fact that someone would steal Jewish intellectual property.

Get teh phootzq out.

I wish! I'm male so I can only have one orgasm per 'cycle'. Women get it good w/the multi-orgasms...




2) STFU

Shut teh phootzq up

Wishful thinking. Clearly you're forgetting the successful colonization of 8.7% of the world. Yeah, it's true than Napoleon wasn't really French, conquered most of Europe and then epically failed when he tried to conquer Russia and Britain... much like yuor f�hrer.

Also, their women don't shave, which is kind of nasty.
Much like your second dad.



3) Convert to islam
Why would I convert to a comic book story?
Islam is not a comic book, n00b. There aren't any pictures there. As for why, that way when you follow next steps you'll believe that instead of going to hell you'll be met by 72 virgins. Don't skip step 4!

Silly child,
Talking to yourself??

aren't you a bit too old to have imaginary friends?
I don't.



4) Stop being ghey
I've never heard of 'ghey'
Men like you. Men who bong-bong-bong other men in the anus. But you already know that.

unless you're using 'gay' as a pejorative - then I'd ask YOU to stop being a bigot, bloody kike.
It's funny how lots of nazis forget the homophobic part of their ideology and happily chew on hairy sausages in their spare time.



5) Drink poison
No thanks, I'm not a big fan of booze myself...though I do enjoy LISTENING to Poison.
Drugs, synaesthesia... Not quickly enough but that'll do the job.



6) Jump from a cliff

Kids, making stories up to sound cooler. Typical childish behavior.

You didn't show any.

Holy crap...

Hook, Line, and Sinker!

bla bla bla
(weak attempt at trolling)
Point proven. Now go sit on a stick and watch Pokemon, yuo fagg0t!

He still mad.

It's not so much 'trolling' as...you're an idiot.

Keep spamming, n00bie, keep spamming! (I bet this faggot will respond with another "u mad" pic)

tanis: My final post, but we should let this thread die... it served no purpose and has lead nowhere anyway. I will admit, it gave me a good laugh though.

But now he's profile posting...

He mad, so mad.

He's also antisemitic.

No pic this time?? Come on!

My sig was removed?

Aww...

It's racism!
:P

Not really

Thread closed.

Good day, gentlemen.
