12 bar blues. Nobody knows who first put those chords together. Was it in Africa? Or later in the slave fields? Or sometime in the early 1900's? Where? When? Who? Nobody knows.
Does Robert Johnson hold the copyright to 12 bar blues? No. Muddy Waters? No. Any of the first recorded blues masters? No.
Simple twist here and there with those same chords, that same meter, that same cadence, and it is a different song.
Do you understand that?
No, you can't say that with a straight face about taking a brand new song and doing that.
But some things have been passed down since the beginning of man. Stories, fables, songs, nursery rhymes, etc.
Snow White is a fairytale gideongallery. It is no more able to be credited to the Brothers Grimm than playing an open G tuned blues can be credited to Muddy Waters.
Now how about getting BACK to the original subject Mr. "Circular" Argument.
It is WRONG to take somebodies original song straight from the damn album and put it in your movie without permission AND payment.
You know, you CLAIM to have some bands that you now are showing your magical formula to become millionaires by having their shit stolen. I hope you are telling them that IF somehow they really do make the big time, you are going to have no problem having their music stolen and used by anybody who wants to at any time.
