Radiohead Sues Lana for Copyright Infringement on "Get Free"

Recommended Posts

Word for word from wiki on the song "Creep"-

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(Radiohead_song)

 

​"Creep" shares a chord progression and melody "The Air that I Breathe" a 1972 song recorded by the Hollies.

​The songs writers Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood sued and received co-writing credits and a percentage of the songs royalties.

 

​According to Hammond, "Radiohead agreed that they actually had taken it...Because they were honest they weren't sued to the point

​of saying We want the whole thing'. So we ended up just getting a little piece of it


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp

The similarity is obvious. I noticed as soon as I heard it for the first time, but still I hope she wins the case because they're just too greedy.

I never liked "Creep" but I'm not a fan of "Get Free", either (the fact that it sounds like Radiohead's song doesn't help). I love "The Air That I Breath", though.  :D

I remember a few years ago a band let a youtuber put their own music in her videos because they were friends but the record label (I think) tried to sue her anyway. So I don't know if you can blame this entirely on the band.

I'm really worried seeing people saying stuff like "radiohead who" or "nobody knows them"... I mean, wtf guys you fucking know shitty artists like Halsey and Melanie Martinez, how don't you guys know one of the biggest/most famous alternatives bands?

Part of the people that say they don't know them are just "joking" because they're mad about this whole situation.... 

But there's a great amount of people that doesn't know them. Or just knows 'Creep' since it is their most famous song.

 

That said... nobody knows them, radiohead who?  :oic:  :oic:  :oic:

Because Radiohead debuted about 10 years before most Lana fans were even born. It's not like they've remained massively mainstream throughout the 2000s/10s. I'll admit I only really knew Creep and Karma Police before this whole drama, and that's purely down to my parents liking them and playing them sometimes.
