Guest analogue wings Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Dumb threadjack. The OP's plagiarism claim is pretty valid. Now the thread is full of posts disparaging an unrelated claim.

Reveal hidden contents if you think (without any context or background) that my views on drug use are "childlike" then i guess you dont know anybody who is unable to hold down a job due to short term memory, panic attacks etc, thanks to "experimenting" with "harmless" psychedelics in their youth cos y'know im totally one of those "holier than thou" libertarians. idiot.

karmakramer Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 i'd try to email/contact radiohead/thom about this... I understand its kind of slimy to get all greedy or whatever, but fuck man... the music business is a tough business, and if your work was directly taken and used in something that sold and made millions, theres nothing wrong with wanting something out of it. Thom may not like you for it, but if he liked you at all he would have thanked you and told you he wanted to sample your track.

awepittance Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 (edited) yeah i think kcinsu's probably right. especially if the contest was in any way affiliated with their record label or publishing company. if it was just them dudes doing it totally by themselves it wouldn't hurt to email them. but i think you're most likely out of luck if you want any form of recognition over this. but at least watmm knows and of course more fuel for the radiohead hater fire Reveal hidden contents when you resort to calling someone an idiot for pointing out their obvious hypocrisy it kind of tells me that other person can't really argue cohesively or rationalize their inane thoughts, but ill stop here out of respect for blicero Edited December 28, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/51783-did-thom-yorke-borrow-my-beat/page/2/#findComment-1196117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest epsy Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Apparently when Limp Bizkit was doing that whole tour of GC stores to audition guitarists, one of the quips was, you had to sign a contract saying they had the rights to everything you played when you auditioned. If you started playing anything resembling a cover tune, the guy behind the table would cut your volume and your audition would be over. I wouldn't expect Thom Yorke to be dicky like that, but who knows.

Guest gabrielconroy Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Definitely send him an email man, he usually comes across as a conscientious guy. For some reason zebox won't load for me (looks like the server's down), but if the beats are as similar as everyone else is saying, I'd guess he'd at the least acknowledge the similarity. Maybe the beat got lodged subliminally in his head, who knows - I doubt he consciously ripped it off. Although I'd word the email so it doesn't come across like you're trying to sue the crap out of him.

First off, I'm not trying to build a legal case, or anything like that. I'm flattered, if anything. The only think I would ever want would be some tiny bit of recognition (even if it wasn't made public). All sounds used in my song were from the Radiohead contest samples, which can be found here: http://www.citizeninsane.eu/loophole.html I can't remember exactly which samples I used, but I believe I used at least these 3: Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://www.citizeninsane.eu/loophole/R93.mp3 Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://www.citizeninsane.eu/loophole/R101.mp3 Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://www.citizeninsane.eu/loophole/R118.mp3 BTW, thanks for the nice feedback on the track. Before I read this post I was thinking that maybe Yorke could be a lurking watmmer, nicking bits and pieces from all of us when we post new shit. I guess it's still possible. The internet is scary like the wild west when it comes to this business. I worry about that shit sometimes. To be safe, when if you are ever worried about this sort of thing happening, make sure somewhere by your composition it reads "© 2010 (or whatever the year), your name, all rights reserved".

Guest gabrielconroy Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah I actually really want to hear the 'original' now, very curious.

Mellow U Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Haha I just found this thread now. Sorry to continue the threadjacking but...I'm going to talk to Brian E about this soon. I was never aware he felt that way about Tom just using the basic elements of the remix to make a new song. Seems pretty unlike Brian to take offense like that actually. Either way, I find it pretty hilarious that anyone even thinks the entire Free Festival album was original in any way. Personally for me, the whole thing was just an exercise in feel-good electronics with folky guitars all over it a la Gary Higgins. Really not the kind of pairing that hasn't been done before...not worth fighting over!
