Dyne Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So, I was keyed into this by Danimal: https://www.youtube.com/embed/FMPPOTZRc0U Listen to this, and tell me that's not Jetpack Blues. Because it is, obviously. There's very little difference between the two, it's downright blatant infringement. On top of that, Disney has deleted all of the comments pointing out the infringement. Here's Anamanaguchi's original track: Spread the word about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ectogemia Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 OUTRAGED. Anamanaguchi is legitimately my favorite band. This is horseshit, and it's a terrible adaptation of Jetpack Blues, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 What!? Disney ripped someone off!? How dare the-....oh, wait. Disney likes to plagiarise Yea, this shouldn't be new to anyone... A company like this shouldn't do things like this but they've been doing it for generations. Just don't F*&$ with my Fox and the Hound!!!

PixelPanic Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 That's just downright stupid and I don't like it. Jetpack Blues, Sunset Hues is my favorite Anamanaguchi song, and they stole it so much in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey, before the internet hate riots, keep in mind that whoever was responsible for this trailer is a very small subset of Disney. Probably one guy who sourced or oversaw the music. I doubt there was some guy smoking a cigar on piles of money saying "Yes... yes... let's rip off this well-known chiptune artist." There are a few possibilities here before you all pick up your pitchforks: 1. The music supervisor /editor on the project asked for a knockoff of that song specifically. 2. The music supervisor / editor browsed through an existing music library and picked this track, not knowing it was a ripoff (eg. the producer of the video is innocent). This is a very real possibility. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of tracks in music libraries. Some of them will inevitably be total ripoffs, which is entirely the fault of the composer who wrote them. 3. They somehow licensed the rights to the track and covered it.

The Derrit Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 well seeing as literally all of the comments in the past 8 hours have the word anamanaguchi in them i think it's safe to say everyone is aware you're welcome bleck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I had trouble hearing the similarity at first. I can see how it is similar style-wise but I was trying to listen to the notes and I just didn't "feel" the similarity between the two. I have narrowed it down to a few possible causes: I suck at music. I've been remixing too long. It's a generic song. It's like a punk rock song. How can they even claim plagiarism.

psychowolf Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I had trouble hearing the similarity at first. I can see how it is similar style-wise but I was trying to listen to the notes and I just didn't "feel" the similarity between the two. Same here, but the way the 2 melodies are approached seems different, its like someone thought they should do a less skilled acoustic version of the song. To be fair musicians steal melodies and riffs off each other all the time. Disney will most likely get away with doing this. I seriously doubt anamanaguchi has the money to go down the legal route and sue disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreyNinja Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 holy crap. sounded UNDENIABLY like unfinished sentences from Jet Pack... i'm very familiar with the original tune, didn't even have to listen to the original.. doesn't surprise me though.. it's in Disney's blood to blatantly rip people off.

lazygecko Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Probably contracted some cheap freelancer who wasn't feeling particularly inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Probably contracted some cheap freelancer who wasn't feeling particularly inspired. yeah, it's in a different key and altered significantly in quite a few ways in the end, I'm a little disappointed that anamanguchi complained about it. They could've just posted about it without saying "disney totally ripped us off" they're quite a big act now, so I don't understand why they would spend time destroying some youtube advert for a mobile game that "Disney" as the huge corporate entity had essentially nothing to do with. They seem to enjoy having a following that will help them participate in drama and get revenge, and that kinda shit puts a bad taste in my mouth. edit: this totally reminds me of when Metallica was freaking out about Napster ...and then I stopped listening to Metallica forever.
