chrono trigger is the shit.

Because he's a dumb man singing about GETTIN PAPURZ and KEEPIN HOES IN LINE

luckly you can just go back in time then

Not everybody knows as much about various things as you do, Miss Scribblehatch

So?

SO BUTTONS

Call him a thief

He is one.

He's straight up just using Schala's theme and I can guarantee he never got permission beforehand.

It happens all the fucking time.

And people defend it.

**Why.**

By your argument, most of the software we use couldn't exist

I think it's a really sad thing for our culture that in a time where we have more ability to create and share art than ever before that we're restricted by law in doing so in ways we never were before

He's using.

The entire theme.

Because the code to write them was stolen verbatim from something else

Unedited.

without permission

The entire.

Fucking. Theme.

And he's creating something new with it.

No he isn't.

He's singing over it.

Technically, that is creating something new

You can't just listen to his song and get the same experience as listening to the OST can you?

It's not Bittersweet Symphony.

So if that's not the case what is wrong with using the entire thing?

Holy shit.

This happens every time by the way.

No matter the crowd, there will always be a majority siding with the thief.

People are allowed to disagree with you.

It's not a democracy.

Your definition of thief in this case is rather broad

I'm right and you're wrong.

Can we sue Disney for totally STEALING the idea for all of their most popular movies?

This level of exhaustion from me comes from seeing this SAME SHIT several times

Fucking thieves the lot of them

Sorry, Miss Scribblehatch, but I believe you'll find that you just stole "I'm right and you're wrong" from somebody else. The fact that you're paraphrasing doesn't matter, because the basic premise was the same.

Same song. "Gettin papurz. And I slapped a hoe"

But it was over this

Is your problem that it’s not creative, or that the original artist isn’t getting royalties and recognition?

Do you see how hypocritical your argument is?

Someone did the same exact song about Papurz and Hoez over that

Creative my ass.

Hey scribble you said he 'stole it' but the creators still have the original so it's not stealing I'm right you're wrong :^)

These rappers are no Grandmaster Flash. Not by a country mile.

These are the most overpaid hacks that have ever graced this earth

They're overpaid hacks, yes. But they are technically creating new works.

with a bare minimum of effort

If I take a shit on a table I'm technically creating a new work.

I don't really care how good they are or not I care about people being able to create music

But if the original artist is credited and/or compensated, is there still a problem?

Yes.

And an art museum would most likely pay you for your shit on a table, Miss Scribblehatch

Because they didn't ask for permission. You know they didn't.

Do we know this? I didn't look it up

Oh, did Wiz Khalifa call Square Enix?

Did he

I really don't know

No he did not.

You didn’t answer my question

i get annoyed when people ask me for permission to use my work, i just want them to steal it, because i dont believe in ip

These days sampling is very heavily regulated

No it isn't.

Lots of the music from the past could never be made

i get annoyed when people ask me for permission to use my work, i just want them to steal it, because i dont believe in ip

@Scribblehatch Did you ask for permission from the developers of the games you're basing your mechanics off of to make sure they were okay with you taking the basic idea?

lol

You don't know what you're talking about and just want to be angry.

you're welcome

you're welcome

There's a legal term for what's absolutely necessary in design for something to function.

thanks

That's why there can be Megablocks and lego

Why there can be Hydrox and Oreo.

But what Wiz Khalifa has done, is just take the **entire fucking song**

Your argument is "The artist didn't call the original creators to ask if he could use their song in his new creation"

Do you not understand the fucking difference.

No, not really

I'm saying you're being a bit hypocritical

Why is stealing a small amount ok for you?

i find it funny that they can't sing happy birthday in movies anymore, so they have to use like odd alternatives

That song should be public domain, no question

why though?

Because people have been singing it at birthday parties for over 50 years.

Let’s say he did ask, the original copyright holder said yes and use of the work was cleared. What’s the problem then?

Stop fighting me on absolutely everything. I'm right and it's not up for a vote.

well wix khalifa is trying to start a trend to make something else public domain

Scribble, can you get the same experience listening to that Wiz Khalifa song as you can listening to the original track from CT?

And this huffing guy is dumb.

how rude

If not, then why is it worse that he took the whole song rather than a small part?

PAPURZ AND HOES OVER A SNES TRACK

What a great genre.

Y'all are having the pettiest argument I've ever seen... :L

Just because you personally do not like it does not mean it shouldn’t exist.

I wonder why you don't answer that question 🤔

ip doesn't real
