Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re: Copyright and practical application

I read that there is some software being developed that can tell if you used any audio from a commercial release. It was a year or two ago that I read it, but I think it has a library of all released CD's and then it scans your audio file and looks for the same patterns of audio waves.

Of course this doesn't address the copyright debate per melodies. Regarding melodies, there are many that similar that never get prosecuted. We have all heard a song which sounds almost identital to another. The George Harrison thing is a bit scary because its essentially three notes that were the same ("My Sweet Day" and "One Fine Day") - but I think George's song was more intersting what it did with it (the "really wanna a...." part). All of pop music walks a thin line between to being too similar to other music and uncommerical/unpopular.

By the way, did you notice that Destiny's Child "Survivor" uses the same chords as Gansta Paradise which is a rip of Stevie Wonder's Pasttime Paradise?
