@hellasow thanks for the explanation, I hope you understand the sarcasm here.
Dude shut up
Aaaaaaah 😂😂😂😂😂
LMAOOOO
If that's the case then all country artists should be suing each other for using the same guitar rifts 😂😂
also reggeton has hufe lawsuits lol
They should if they cant produce new music. Thats way they are artists, right?
That is so true lol
RIGHT
And snaps
He’s not making any money so he just decided to sue🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
jordan reid fr😂😂
Right 😂😂
Another hack, using Christianity as a selling point for his crappy music. Greedy for money from the more successful
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter rather we know who he is or rather he’s making money or not . The fact is this is a crime for a reason . This happens to people all the time time .
If you knew who he was you would know its for justice not money.

People will do anything to get money, bc it's easier to do that then to go and earn money yourself lol

Then you should be sueing all songs. There’s no such thing as original anymore.
MJ7615 yeah
yeah yeah
After this they will be. There is. O such thing as original, but stealing from lesser known artists is wrong.
With shitty pop music no there isn’t they all sound about the same there is not a band like Queen to pave the way
The lawsuit is bullshit they sued based on one note so dumb
6 writers accused of copying literally 3 musical notes?
Katy perry didn't even write her music?!? What a stupid woman with a pretty face
Yeah this is some BS
This is some BS, it’s not the same, might be similar in a certain element but is not the same.....
I know right.
@@doocieonu she writes her own music, with co-writers like all artists. You can check it online before saying anything.
In art it's like claiming that someone used the same colors and you sue them for it

I know right, it doesn't make any sense, they just pitied his broke ass. That's not suppose to be a law suit even.
No its not.
It actually isnt. He owns it and she stole it. No matter how much you may want to think that you can own rights to music, you absolutely can.
Amber Horton ^ yes ty
Update: after paying almost 2.8 million dollars, Katy Perry appealed the lawsuit and got her money back.
Hahahahaha
She didn't pay him the money was freezed during the appeal
I'm so glad to hear this.

If there was no lawsuit most likely he acts for permission and paid..
Sued by Auto Tune...
Never heard of this guy, Flame. Probably made more off this lawsuit than he did from the actual song. 😂
Thats why he sued. You cant let a big artist take away a smaller artists music.
@@Kossberg he is not a small artist.. He's a big artist in the Christian industry

@@Kossberg it's like 3 notes nothing was stolen ...
Well his money, either way.
And Katy Perry made way more money of his song either way, so fck off.
What rubbish smh
So if you come up with a tune in your head, you're gonna have to check every single song in history just to make sure no one else has thought of it. Doesn't make sense.
If you plan on selling that music, absolutely, yes, you have a duty to make sure you aren’t (even unintentionally) copying to a legally sufficient degree, another’s songs melody, rhythm, lyrical content, and production. It is a basic responsibility of all commercial songwriters. The law is more nuanced than it is made out to be (especially going by the apparent perception of commenters here), and winning this type of infringement case isn’t exactly cheap, or easy. I can understand why some might view this story through a rather simplistic lens, but as is true of most US law, criminal or civil, it’s actually not that simple.
Unintentional or subconscious plagiarism is a common and well known issue, and any songwriter who sells their music will be well aware of the potential for accidentally mimicking an already released piece of music. I have been a professional songwriter and producer for a decade, and this is the worst nightmare of any songwriter. But proving infringement by the legal standard and applying case law is not easy, so there are ample protections. In many of the comments here, you can see a great deal of misunderstanding represented regarding the law, and how it is applied. But regardless, it is absolutely essential that all producers consider any similarities (overt or underlying) in songs under their oversight to former works. Even if two people have the same idea for a melody, nearly simultaneously, the one who publishes it first will own that melody.
But a case like this one wouldn’t really have legs without some possibility of proving that someone who worked on the song had some exposure to the previous work that they were accused of copying, so clearly there was some legitimacy to the claim if they were allowed to bring it to a jury.
Finally, the reality is that there are thousands of songs in existence...but not exactly “every single song in history” will have a plaintiff behind it, to sue! So if I write my best pop song ever, and later discover that it is nearly identical to some piano concerto from 1832, with no living owner behind it, there would no longer be anyone to act as a plaintiff (plus copyrights expire after a certain amount of time, usually the author’s lifespan plus 70 years in the USA, if it was copyrighted after 1978 - but that’s a subject for another day).
Still, having said all of that, there’s a high degree of subjectivity to this kind of claim, and I can understand why someone unfamiliar with the legal standards might see it a draconian overreach with significant consequences, but a massive majority of commercially successful songwriters are never involved in this type of lawsuit...so it’s obviously not too difficult to refrain from plagiarizing another song.
(Edited typos)
You damn right. You have to make sure that nothing like it exist.
This cord has been used for centuries now, just listen to the first 15 seconds of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas from the 1800s.
That song alone destroys any claim to the beat.
@@B3ARCAT well thats tottal bullshit.
Do you know how many songs have ben prodused.alot.
And you naw expect to look into evry singel song like only becaus a bit is similar that dosent mean someon copy it im sure that there are on hundred songs with the similar bit.
The Joke in all this is that these singers don’t make the beats, music or lyrics.
Dr. Luke produced the song and he's one of the ppl charged with this accusation so idk why his name isn't in the headlines.
And yes katy perry and a few others wrote Dark Horse, but it's the beat we're talking about not the lyrics.
@@wolfe4683 exactly and these same producers work for many ppl
Its because modern pop music and/or rap music is ultimately sucks in nowadays. Who needs to listen those garbage sh*tty songs by these whiney snitch ass so-called singers?!
Only og singers like mj made their lyrics
word, and i am also hearing that there is this spotify for producers to get their sounds so maybe they both used the same premade loop ;)
It's similar. It's not the same.
Unlike vanilla ice and freddie. That was a complete rip off.
Thats a sample
I thought he just sampled the song and did it legally.
It doesn't have to be the same. It only has to be "substantially similar."
The beat was simply slowed down....that's infringement.
@@VitalMusic217 Good point but actually it's entire loop. They stole it.

This is insane. I can see if you’re truly sampling a complete rift in a song, but when you’re talking about 2-3 notes that sound similar, and you’re leaving it up to a jury who most likely have no musical knowledge or training, I’m sorry...that’s BS. . Laws need to be re-written.

Sineamon T I just mean that if you are allowed to copyright a rhythm, or a few notes, that’s gonna be a horrible precedent to set. It simply should not be allowed. It’s as if we aren’t allowed to write lyrics using the phrase “I love you so much” all of a sudden, cause it was used in another song. Screw that!

nachtegael W seriously guys... you can’t copyright some tones in a rhythm. What’s next, a drum beat?

What’s your opinion of the Elvis Presley song “Can’t Help Falling in Love”?
Katy's team: This could hurt the entire music industry
Rapper's team: my client feels...
They’re making such a big deal out of this story... You guys do know how many songs sound similar like these 2 right? This will do nothing to her career, she makes so much money and is a POP icon. All I see is how music and energy inspires and transfers from artist to artist. But it’s all about $$$ these days.
We’re upset not because Katy Perry lost a couple mil were upset because this ruins the music industry
lol this is not a hit against katy, relax sis
Holy fudge shes an icon? Guess Ava Max needs some stripper outfits. And Hailey Stienfield needs more sex jokes.
So ur good with someone hearing ur shit and recreating it then lying and saying they didn't???
The amount of music that comes out its not impossible for songs to sound the same
Exactly what I was thinking..
I’ve never heard of him or his music. Just because a video got millions of views on UA-cam doesn’t mean it’s popular or well known. Especially, in a genre like Christian music.
We should all just sue each other at this point.
We are all out of notes. Similarity will happened as always. So all birds can sue the parrot 🦜 as this bird can imitate sounds.
Difference is that the parrot doesnt make 40m dollars and doesnt do it on purpose thats what counts in the court intent
yous gon git dem cheeks took my nigga, parrots very much copy things deliberately.
Point being it’s like copyrighting ‘noun verb adverb noun’ in a sentence it’s crazy to have a ruling on this cause it absolutely limits anyone else doing anything remotely similar just in case
Also the lawsuit kinda implies that Flame made the motif in 2008(? 2014? I don’t remember when his song was) but it dates as far back as Bach I think
It’s ridiculous to try and limit a creative medium like this
SUE ALL PARROTS
There is only do re me fa so la ti do
So many ppl money hungry
So many people think they can own something they didn’t create... I can’t wait until the relatives of the creators of instruments start suing everybody. You just can’t own music and every damn note on the scale.
This dude made more from the lawsuit than from his whole career
He should...he owns it....Katy's team took the risk and got burned.
This is not like Vanilla ice and Queen & Bowie...that was a blatant RIP off. I definitely hear the intense similarity between the two, they are not much different at all...but can you own and copyright sound?
You cant own a sound but you can own a sequence of sounds just like you cant own a word but you can own a phrase ex. "Ive fallen and i cant get up" is copyrighted
Yes, that beat is someone else’s intellectual property because they came up with it, and they did not give permission for you to use it.
You can own a sequence of sounds *if* it is sufficiently original and creative to deserve copyright protection. To give an analogy, the United States copyright office will not register the copyright on an isolated phrase because a few words strung together is not sufficiently original, but they will on longer original textual works such as books or magazine articles. Clearly at some point, a string of words or a sequence of sounds becomes copyrightable, but the law doesn't define precisely how much originality or complexity is required, so that's where reasonable people and courts have occasionally struggled.
In this case, the beat that Katy allegedly stole is relatively simple and it's not out of the question that a musician could independently come up with something like it without having ever heard Joyful Noise by Flame.
Another problem is that the sequence of musical notes used in creating the beat have at least partially been used in songs that were released many decades ago. New York University music professor Lawrence Ferrara testified at the trial as an expert witnesses for the defense (Katy Perry). He stated that the two much older songs, Jolly Old St. Nicholas and Merrily We Roll Along, have nearly identical sequences of musical notes. Obviously the sequence of sounds will come across somewhat differently when played on more traditional instruments than a synthesizer. But still, it's not as if nothing like that had ever existed before Flame released Joyful Noise. Now to be fair to the jurors, I wasn't there and so I didn't hear the evidence they did. But based upon what I know, I'm not so sure I agree with their verdict.
Nnenna are you sure they came up with it?
Same way as you can own and copyright a color
Beyonce might be next. She likes saying she was inspired. 😐

@@nachtegaelw5389 I'm being sarcastic.
Bruno Mars is in trouble for sure. But, I believe he pays out prior to releasing. Gap Band or Isley's for example.
That's what "artists" who "borrow" are supposed to do; pay up front to use someone else's creation.
He did that with Breakbot also- "Baby I'm Yours." He asked Breakbot if he could re-do the song and Breakbot said no, so Bruno made "Treasure" which sounds very similar, but with crappy lyrics
This is really just hurting his own image, but then again he only cares about the one million, and not his future career
He's a Christian and he sued?! Not very christian😂😂😂😂 what happened to turn the other cheek?
You sue for the principle of it if yiu get money, then great!. We are Christians either way. Has nothing to do with that.
@@starstruckstar2597 as Christians you're supposed to forgive and do what Jesus would do. You're supposed to live like Christ, hence the name Christianity. To sue is seeking vengeance and recompense which is not Christian, you are supposed to turn the other cheek. It's a rule of satanism to sue people, under the sin of forgetting past orthodoxies, they sue over the principle, where good Christians are not supposed to. Nowhere in Christian teaching does it say to sue people. A person who sues can claim to be Christian but they're not practicing their faith, they're going directly against the teachings of Christ, which is not Christian. You can be in denial about it all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's not Christian and therefore people that do it, aren't behaving like Christians.
since that music, his music is being considered devilish. understand deeper before you laugh.
So just because someone is christian that automatically gives someone permission to steal
Betty Nolo wow you are completely nuts. Just because they are christian doesn’t mean they should sit back allow someone to steal from you
Leave it 6 years then file for copyright infringement? The two songs don’t even seem similar. A song is about the lyrics not the beat
Wrong. A song is about everything in composition.
They filed a lawsuit after the song was released.
As an aspiring writer, I come up with story synopsis all the time only to find out a similar story is already published. We live in a world where our consciousness is intertwined so it’s inevitable that we would have related imaginations. Me thinks if it’s not outright copy, i.e. word for word or beat for beat ripoffs, then there is no infringement.
Not even close🤦♂️🤭 seriously maybe in good day and it was good day...
It’s incredibly close 😂

Lol this lawsuit is bullshit. He definitely is sueing over Basic Music Concepts.
when you’re broke so you sue someone more relevant than you for money 😂😂😂
I'm sueing my coworker because he started the day after me with the same job title for 7.5 million
so they're saying, if i want to use a similar melody to another song i have to get permission??
even though the instrumentals are completely different, the chord progression are completely different, and youre saying an artist can claim a chord?
Hey! that is too similar too twinkle twinkle little star, ur getting *SUED*
Ummm... 2:10 Why does his attorney look like he hasn’t slept in a week...?

Watch adam neelys video on this for a music theory breakdown of how ridiculous this case is!
Im all for copyright protection for artists being one myself but this one is absurd...kind of like claiming copyright for a word or a colour
Exactly. He was talking about original ideas using the same melodies and notes but not sampling directly from the track or its primitives. This kind of stuff is bullshit for musical art.
Except, colors can actually be trademarked. Also, words can be as well bsed on font/type, inflectional, etc. "Let's get ready to rumble" is a trademark.

It is truly a travesty of justice. They are ruining the music industry! 🤬
There should be a judge that knows the basics of music
Someone: "H-"
Musician: That was in my song, I'm suing you
Can’t this world just love music and get the hell along? Jesus f Christ!
I mean, music is inspired by other music. Just like art is inspired by art. What a mess. We need to make lawsuits harder to do in America. There is so much backlog in the judicial system due to these frugal lawsuits, that many people who are incarcerated, or awaiting trail are being denied their right to a speedy trail.
Ok so making music in itself is already hard. To think that you came up with the original beats is rewarding. But sometimes people can make mistakes and come up with beats without knowing that it exists in another song. No artist or song writer has the time to listen to all the songs in the world and say nope we can't do this beat because its copyright. And also there are many songs out there that have also been exposed to have the same beats but did the artists sue each other. No. Because as an artist/song writer they understand how hard it is to come up with your own beats. Who knows what if the guy suing Katy Perry has done the same thing but the person who came the original beat was chill and was willing not to sue him. This guy needs to come down and take a chill pill in order to realize it's not the end of the world. Tbh I believe that he is jealous for a fact that Katy Perry's song became more popular than his. Pont blank. Period
Why can’t the “people” us sue the government for being shady ?
Marvin Gay was definitely copied. Vanilla Ice definitely copied. Katy Perry, not so much!
Actually yes it does if you take the top of it off but they put a pop sound over it to mask it.
Imagine what would a charcoal drawer would do against other charcoal drawers, as they are using same colour for their arts.
This will most likely be overturned on appeal. Especially considering that Gray himself stole the beat from an earlier 80's song.
Interesting I thought this beat sounded like a song I heard when I was younger. I've tried to find the song, but I thought it was an artist from way before
This is the Me Too of artists and musicians 😒
That's not even close her sample actually came from a song from the 80s called Moments In Love by The Art Of Noise
You know who else uses that beat?
Bach in his adagio for violin sonata.
It's even used in Jolly old Saint Nicholas.
Imagine pouring your heart out on an original masterpiece, only to have people challenge you for your money in court lmao eff'd up stuff smh
Anthony Yalon imagine u spending tons of money and time in a recording studio to create such a master piece and then 15-20 years later some new artists just comes along and steals ur hard work and makes millions off of it. Then because u do nothing about it, lots of new artists start taking some of ur other works and adding on it and then making millions of dollars on ur other works. Now when a commercial, movie or another artists wants to us that other artists version, they get royalties on their stolen work from u and u get nothing.
We’re gonna run out of sounds and beat rhythms if we cant copy a little bit lol
There's a difference between using simular musical elements and not knowing which song is about to play when you hear the song starting.
I really wanted to make a song. Then how to start. Is there any app or instrument to check the similarity? Help me😣😣😣. Don't have money to pay the sue😭😭😅
I'm going to sue my brother for having similar resemblance to my physical features. That's basically what this video is saying.
The real question is what the he'll is the guy from Live PD commenting on a Katy Perry song " GAY "
Albert Flores he's been a legal correspondent far before Live PD.
In a couple years, we will have to make a new instrument, because someone owns instrument sounds, are a whole note to themselves
I am all for stopping plagiarism, but that is not what is happening here. Legal teams are using small elements of music to make a case that will confuse a jury because they know that the general population does not know enough about music composition to make an informed decision. Cases like these stifle creativity and seem to be moving the music industry to a dangerous place. As a song writer, a composer, and a music teacher, rulings like these are truly disturbing.
Yeah well Katy made that song magic. The original was pretty much in the dark. She's welcome
There’s only so many beats in a life Time that people can make. It’s getting harder to make a beat that hasn’t already been done. But if you want to use something, just ask the owners permission and get it in writing for a contract. That’s it! It will save all the sueing .
I always assumed Vanilla Ice was openly sampling from Bowie/Queen. Bizarre to think he'd hope they wouldn't notice. Everyone did.
I think it’s important that people realize that if Katy Perry’s team could’ve proved that his beat/riffs were in fact not his, and just building blocks passed through music, then he would not have been awarded a win in the case.
It’s simply not the same as having a generic guitar rift played in thousands of country songs, as it’s nearly impossible to follow back where they originated. The most important fact of the case being that the beat/riff was distinct enough and not shown in other songs previous to the plaintiff.
Edit: after doing research, the verdict was appealed and Katy won her money back which is a great thing. As long as they can prove the person suing did not originate the beat/riff then there is no need for anyone to claim ownership of a reused/sampled piece of music.
But if you pay first there wouldn't be an issue right. 🤷🏾♀️ just ask the artist and let it be that because even tho you were inspired you can't use that as a defense.
Valid point
You cant say the word "a" in any songs
It's been copy written
DJSiQRiQ that’s not how copyright works. Do some research.
This is a case of extortion. The only similarity in these 2 songs is their ostinato. Nobody owns the basic elements of music notation!
It’s a frivolous lawsuit that should have been dismissed immediately, they just want to get lots of money out of Katy Perry.
What’s crazy is how most producers are underpaid but get hit with the biggest lawsuits for copying
“Joyful Noise” should be sued for copying Bach then, since that melodic line was utilized well before their subpar song.
He is a very successful Christian artist who was a millionaire way before this. Katy has always known who he is. She thought she was untouchable because she is mainstream and he is not. You can't do that!! You can't copy somebody else's production and pass it as your own. You have to respect their art. It doesn't matter who they are!!
Starstruck 15 why are you pivoting back to Katy Perry, when “Joyful Noise” is almost an exact imitation of a piece by Bach...
The gay family 💀💀
@@derekb0 oh stfu cupcake 💋
Or are you commenting because of what happened in Marvin Gay's family?
In the first place a rapper claiming infringement is an oxymoron. I didn’t hear enough similarity there to keep from getting thrown out of court. Gaga’s Shallow sounds break for break like any number of other songs. They went after a big fish to see if they could land a big catch and our justice system played the fool once again
This was a really bad verdict from the jury. Thankfully, the U.S. district court judge vacated the judgment. Marcus Gray has appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In recent oral arguments, the 3-judge panel expressed skepticism that any copyright violation occurred. Hopefully, this meritless case will disappear soon.
The lawsuit of David Bowie and Queen vs. Vanilla Ice is actually legitimate. He copied their exact beat and bass line, it was exactly the same.
Ed’s song is pretty obvious as well. He’s getting sued.
Such utter bullshit. The fact that they demanded a bunch of clueless jurors (instead of experts in music) to come up with a verdict says it all. This is a huge scam, and will lead to even more issues in the future of the music industry.
Absolutely ridiculous lawsuit outcome. Katy Perry's Dark Horse has barely anything in common with Flame's Joyful Noise. Different melody, different lyrics. Case closed!
This is rediculous. There are millions of songs in the universe and some can really match coincidentally.
And that coincidence gonna cost ya. Pay up!
None the less..... she still broke better than even with the beat. He probably would’ve came out better teaming up for a remix. Music is a gift from the heavens for all to enjoy.
The problem is not sampling or being inspired by someone else’s work. The problem is when these "artists" are not paying and crediting the original sources that created the beats or lyrics and then trying to pass it off as their own creation. These people wouldn’t get sued if they just paid the original creators in the beginning.
Brandin Dash she never heard of him before and it’s a basic building block of all music. He’s salty and if he was a big artist I don’t think he would be trying to sue her and fact about the case is he did pick the jury so that he would win when playing both beats in the song they could say it was similar without knowing anything about music. So there for he’s a thief
