Itsumo on The Buzz - Constructive Criticism Welcome

[EZRA]

No, they do pay for the rights or else they'd be violating the copyright laws ... that's how Music Publishing companies make their money.. and that's how songwriters make their money as well. Everytime Regine, Martin, or whoever includes someone else's song in their album, they have to pay for that .. that's what the copyrights are for.
You really need to consider that it's through Publishing rights where songwriters gets the bulk of their income. It's not through record sales and concerts. They really track these things meticulously...
Most Philippine record labels are linked to some of the world's major labels (Sony, Capitol, etc..) If they, in any way possible, violate the copyright laws.. would you think that they'd still keep their license to operate?

Everybody's violating everything in the Philippines anyway. Pirates.

If they do pay for the rights, I still find it hard to believe... maybe a few handful do, but definitely not most.

[EZRA]

If the artist is under a major label... it's very likely that they obey these laws. Like I said, most Philippine labels are affiliated with the some of the world's major labels like SONY, EMI, CAPITOL, etc.. they would lose their credibility if they violate these laws. These large companies would stop licensing their products to the pinoy labels for re-destribution .. wala nay mamaligya ug mga foreign records sa pinas, puros na lang pirated.. samot ug ka nihit ang mga CD.

Sakto jud ka dHa Bay. Mao pay nihit na kaayo mga nindot na CD dri.

I really believe they didn't pay for publishing, but they just gave credit to the original artists.

pero they didn't credit utada in regards with Itsumo, they just made up some sort of issue, about someone writing the song balh lah blah...

[tingkagol]

I wasn't talking about Dice & K9.

guys, have you been to pinoyexchange.com under their music forums?

gi-katay ang Itsumo song ug sila dice and k9.

Tinuod ba naa sad kuno part sa song na gi kuha gkan ni Utada Hikaru?

well, research ko, turns out naay similarity,
some Lyrics from Utada's First Album, FIRST LOVE

"You are always gonna be my love
Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made"

"You will always be inside my heart
Itsu mo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made"


hmmm..I'm not a japanese speaker, maybe these are words spoken in daily japanese life, but I ave to admit, there are similarities.

Pero, If they ever did take it form Hikki's song.....now I'm mad and disappointed....ayaw gyud hilabti akong uyab na Si Utada Hikaru.

support Utada's first US album EXODUS 04 on oct.15 ^__^[/size]

hey, come to think of it, what if the exact english meaning of the japanese parts in itsumo translate to "GENERIC-TYPE" lyrics that can be found in one out of 10 love songs on the planet I don't think that's plagiarism. What if those phrases are always used in common parlance?? An english songwriter cannot be accused of plagiarism if he uses a line in a song that goes "i will love u forever" or "i can wait for u" or "more than words" because these lines are common, and can be considered in a weird sorta way, Public Domain...

do you get my drift??

ayt

peace out!!
