Today, I watched a YouTube video about artists who ripped off other artist's songs. All of the bands that were accused of stealing were all bands that I really enjoy. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to see one of my favorite bands. When they started playing my favorite song I whipped out my video camera and sang along. As I was reviewing the video later, I realized that I couldn't even hear the band over my horrible singing. FML
Today, I found out that my favorite band logo is no longer being used by said band because of copyright issues. I have this logo tattooed on my body. FML
Today, I found out my ex-boyfriend's band has become quite popular on YouTube. My friends and sister won't stop singing their songs. Most of them were written after I dumped him, and go on to say how much better off he is without me and how horrible I am. FML
Today, I found out that the very good-looking woman who sings for one of my favorite bands is actually a guy. FML
Today, I made a couple of videos of me playing guitar and singing some of my favorite songs. I got back from school to find my family huddled around the camcorder, laughing, imitating, and making jokes about the video. FML
Today, I attended a musical. A new song was played, and I thought I'd heard it before because it sounded strangely familiar. I sang along quietly as the song progressed, positive I knew it. Anticipating the next chorus, I belted out the lyrics with all my heart. It was instrumental. FML
Today, I was introduced to a YouTube musician called S3RL. I was listening to a playlist of his music all day. Then of course when I went to pick up my girlfriend, some song came on that was just exaggerated sex moans pitched into music. She stared at me then burst out laughing and called me a pervert. FML
Today, I was in a band with some friends and we got our first gig at a local festival, but I'd already agreed to work serving drinks at the festival. My bandmates got really annoyed and kicked me out of the band. They then went ahead and performed the song that I WROTE, without me, at the festival where I was working. FML
Today, my band got booed off stage. FML
Today, while taking a shower, I was enthusiastically singing one of my favorite songs. When I got out, I noticed a bunch of things missing, and a note on my desk, saying, "Shut the fuck up, you suck." I was robbed and judged by a thief. FML

I guess creativity isn't their strong suit?

People do covers sometimes they seem better due to the improvement music has made over the years...I have the same things as well

I'm curious as to how the video defined "ripping off". A lot of people make songs that use samples from older songs and while I think that shows a lack of creativity if done excessively, it isn't ripping off. Ripping off to me means copying a certain style, or writing the exact song but changing the words around. I.E. every popular country song of the last few years.

Seems there aren't too many original singers any more...most re-make other artist's songs & others (like vanilla ice) steal other people's music & claim it's not the same song because 2 notes in the rift are different...& then there's "auto tune"...for those who can't sing but think it makes their voice sound "cool", or rappers who say the same line repeatedly to someone else's music, throw in a bass track & get platinum ratings..not to mention the thousands of "cover" songs (mostly sung by people who CAN'T sing) on you tube...what has the world come to?

Anymore? You can go back decades and find songs that were either heavily influenced by other songs, or copied either the music or the lyrics. This isn't something new with contemporary music.

Like One Direction ripping off Def Leppard that hurt me..... I love def leppard. Don't rip on my favorites....

A lot of the music I like, for example Led Zeppelin have been accused so don't worry, pretty much every major artist gets accused at some point.

I never knew Led Zeppelin had been accused of copying other artists, they seem pretty unique to me, same with Pink Floyd.

At least your not one of those people that think Queen ripped off Vanilla Ice.

yeah OP would be under pressure from a lot of people if they thought that.

I'm guessing they're the bands that play on the radio?.. That makes sense.
