57Gregy Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Listen to this:zztest.mp3 The first part is from a current drug commercial featuring that girl who just wants to have fun. The second part is from a song I recorded and released ~10 years ago. It's nice to know someone is listening! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57Gregy Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I assumed it would open and play in a media player. Apparently not; all I can do is download it and play it. Sorry. Edited August 14, 2020 by 57Gregy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Well, after the successes of so many frivolous copyright lawsuits in recent years maybe you should get a lawyer.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm retired and haven't trimmed anything since last November, and don't intend to any time soon. The first time I heard the commercial I thought that was my song, but you can hear that the composer jazzed it up after the 3rd measure and it's a little faster. But the chord progression is the same, the sound of the piano is the same, heck it could have been sampled from my song. And today after comparing the 2 I hear that it's even in the same key. 3 hours ago, bitflipper said: Well, after the successes of so many frivolous copyright lawsuits in recent years maybe you should get a lawyer.   Bit, I thought about those ludicrous infringement cases, but I may have uploaded it with creative commons licensing. I did that with most of my songs back then, unfortunately. Still, the similarities are striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I see and agree, it would be a simultaneous honor and a bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that 'ol Slart isn't a lawyer? His well-researched, concise answers make me lean towards the fact that he might be! (We have a few attorney firms as clients.)

No, but he often writes "I am not a lawyer" in his posts. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
