    GD is a thief?! Empty GD is a thief?!

    Post  Joey-Kazaam April 5th 2010, 6:21 pm

    Well it looks like it.
    If you don't know G-Dragon aka Kwon Jiyong released his hit album "Heartbreaker" with the title track getting a lot of attention.

    MAINLY BECAUSE IT IS STOLEN. Sony accused YG (G-Dragon's company) of plagiarism, saying that the song Heartbreaker stole its beat from Flo Rida's Right Round.

    Here is the evidence that the song is infact stolen

    Here is G-Dragon's Heartbreaker

    Here is Flo Rida's Right Round

    Personally I think Right Round sounds like ass and GD is so much better than Flo Rida. I don't care and I am not suprised that the music industry steals.

    In the US this could technically count as Fair Use under Parody depending on context, meaning, i don't say G-Dragon is a thief, besides, the BG music in this seems quite different than that in the actual song when i listened to it a while back. Not by a whole lo, meaning it could be inspired.

    My verdict, until further research is done, I can't call a verdict too much, but I will at this time side with G-Dragon on this, Depending on laws in SK, he is likely not breaking the law.

    It's quite blatant that both songs have almost the same melody, but who cares? the people who like the US music industry and those who prefer K-Pop or J-Pop or Mandopop or whateva floats your boat are two different markets. It's not like it was in English and released in the United States by say, Universal or Warner Music Group. Oddly enough, we get treated to a 20 second or so mini-song that's completely different at the end of Heartbreaker, unlike Flo-Rida and his shit.

    yeah its plagiarism but so what, that's the whole business of how the world works. There is a reason why imitation is considered the most sincere form of flattery.

    GD almost went to jail for this, so it does mean something.

    And the mv for Breathe was the ending clip you saw, it was to announce another song that was on the album.

    I think if GD were to ever become big in N.A. he really blew his chances with this.

    damn, thats bad. its almost like when that chinese boyband ripped off PUFFY, except the two countries aren't so close.

    on another note, EMI (who also owns Right Round) saw no similarities between the two songs and Flo-Rida's representives saw no problem either. whats even weirder is that Flo-Rida might be doing a cover of Heartbreaker. maybe Flo-Rida and them got a deal set up.

    Also, apparently according to the originally-scheduled date of release for Heartbreaker, the two songs would be only two months apart from release, so I'm betting it was a coincidence.

    wow. that's pretty sad.

    Also, if Heartbreaker (originally meant to be released a mere 2 months after Right Round) ripped off Flo-Rida, then I think Yu Yamada's "FREE" probably ripped off the same song too. FREE doesn't sound as similar as Hearbreaker is to Flo-Rida, but I can't help buy notice the similarities. I know there is a fine line between similarity and blatant plagiarism, but I can't tell if FREE is just similar or if it is in fact plagiarism.

    Perhaps GD also stole his blonde look from some European guy named Milan Stankovic.

    However GD is 10 million times better...

    oh, you want to know what i think of his look? i think his look is crap.

    the song, on the other hand, is kinda catchy. kinda like the opposite of when a good looking person sings like crap. like that ever happens much, just my example.

    They played Flo Rider during The Inside Ride and I started to sing Heartbreaker without even thinking. Now I understand why the whole copying music thing went on.

    And by singing Heartbreaker, I mean gibberish that I think he says.

    GD is very good and I like him as much as a lot of the J-Pop I listen to but I he's like an outlier for K-Pop.

    But yeah, if it comes back next year, join our team. It actually was really fun. Kinda sucks that our bike's chain fell out of place during Dimitry's run and Brandon quit after 5 minutes causing Mike to go an extra 5. I ended up going like 4.25 km during my 10 minutes.

    I'm playing it now without the physics on and it's the same as the console versions (especially when I use my 360 controller) but when I get a better graphics card, I'm sure to give it and Mirrors Edge another go.

    I played a bit with the physics on but it slowed down a lot when I'd walk threw broken tiles, paper, fog, etc so I took it off and the game felt kinda empty.
