Musical Similarities and the Issues Surrounding Them
No comments · Posted by Philip Newman in Advice
I stumbled across this site which offers side-to-side comparisons of songs which sound similar.
It’s amazing how many there are already, with more likely to come. The similarities are sometimes a little too similar (and admitted by certain artists).
Some of these raise very complicated copyright issues:
- Was the similarity intentional?
- Is the similarity close enough to demand credit/royalties?
- How close is too close?
