From my standpoint, I view “sampling” of music as plagiarism. Although it’s legal under certain circumstances, we cannot neglect the fact the plagiarism by definition means to take somebody else's work or concepts and exploiting them as if it was your own. However, in some circumstances, it permits for a variety of genres of the same musical compositions, which will permit diverse communities to enjoy the same musical compositions in their preferred genre of music. There are pros and cons to this method; nonetheless, it cannot be denied that it is a crafty form of plagiarism. The “sampling” and “borrowing” of musical compositions is considered plagiarism for past musical periods and still is, even to this day and…

Attached is a memorandum assigned in conjunction with my first-year Legal Research and Writing course. This assignment required me to conduct original research and draft an office memorandum addressing whether Veep Omboni Records inclusion of three music samples into a new single would constitute copyright infringement under the Copyright Act of 1976. Specifically, I analyzed whether the inclusion of any of the samples constitute copyright infringement of sound recordings when only small fragments of the copyrighted song were going to be used and would be digitally altered. A main issue in the memorandum was the existence of circuit split as to whether or not courts should recognize a de minimis exception to copyright infringement of sound…
In some ways, copyright laws make sense. Of course, people should be able to use their own ideas, and other people should not be able to copy that. But in other ways, I think that these laws are only a detriment. They deter creativity and new ideas, and they stop better ideas from ever happening. Chapter 6 was both frustrating and perplexing.…

I think that these facts support this claim because LJESB has a license to use the song. As the textbook indicates, “license is an agreement by the owner of intellectual property to permit another to use a trademark, copyright, patent, or trade secret for certain limited purposes.” The defendants are legal to use the song. Wilchcombe wrote the song at the request of LJESB. He gave permission to LJESB to release the song.…

“The thing about The Beatles is that they saved the world from boredom,” George Harrison once said. The four rock stars from Liverpool, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, created a heritage for themselves that will never fade away. From hits such as She Loves You to I Want to Hold Your Hand, the four lads made way for a legacy that has shook the rock genre forever. However, creating a legacy is one thing but owning it is a different feat. According to slate.com, “On Feb. 22, 1963, the Beatles made what many consider the biggest business blunder of their career: They signed away a majority interest in their songwriting, to a struggling music publisher with no track-record, for absolutely nothing.”…
