Radiohead Sues Lana for Copyright Infringement on "Get Free"

[Yosemite 23,788]

sis do you really think they're doing this because its logical they want the $$$$

Yeah I know but like

ThEY WERE THE ONES THAT WERE SUED AND NOW THEY WANNA SUE

IT'S HILARIOUS, I HOPE LANA WINS AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY HER A LOT

[The Greatest 8,805]

yeah i feel like the songs are similar (especially because they have the same end rhymes [weirdo, manifesto]), it makes it feel unintentionally inspired. But there is no way creep constitutes more than 40% of that song, if that. 

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

Welp. I used to be a fan of Radiohead.

Imagine Ms. Lana testifying in court..... wearing her black sweater and jeans 

[LikeARollingStone 285]

for anyone wanting to listen to creep ...  

[The Greatest 8,805]

but using similar chords and progression is not plagiarism 

it violates copyright law if it's considered to be unique enough. Yes G C Em D would not constitute an infringement, but something they consider to be a unique product of that artist would

She will also get publicity, good and bad. People will want to hear Get free and will notice how superior it is... 

[Marius 12,856]

Guys, she's made so much songs. I MEAN A LOT OF SONGS. Do u really think she's stolen someone's job? 

[Doll Harlow 12,369]

They're probably just sour that Get Free is a better song with better lyrics.

[Yosemite 23,788]

but using similar chords and progression is not plagiarism 

If it was, Camila would've been sued over Havana and nothing happened

Like, who are they really?

A total letdown because I really liked Creep

Imagine Ms. Lana testifying in court..... wearing her black sweater and jeans 

and flat shoes...

Well now we know why she sticks to the same outfit. She has to save her coins just in case things go south.

[reputation 6,321]

so.. whos gonna record the court hearing? 

[hornymoon 5,771]

tired old hags trying to shake coin out of lana and taking away the best song and perfect closer on the record.. why did it have to be Get Free? Take Coachella instead   ms get free doesn't deserve this she's too skinny

[James Dean 950]

They have misogynous lyrics

Its time to a new single with Marina

[Flowerbomb 65,595]

Here's the thing: The similarities aren't that noticeable unless someone points it out. I've listened to Creep a thousand times and when I first heard Get Free, I didn't even notice. Sure, the chord progressions are very similar but overall, Get Free sounds entirely different at the same time.

I think this is just Radiohead trying to weave their way back into the spotlight, wether it be by releasing a new album or going so far as to take Lana to court. It's pretty petty if you ask me.

[kitschesque 9,884]

I hate to say it but the chord structure and progression of the song is very similar and miss Rey does have a bad habit of singing over other songs to create her melodies 

 

But it's only the pre-chorus lmao the rest of the song is completely different and way more diverse than Creep

[Sadcore 137]

Wow, I mentioned thinking the intro to "Get Free" had a similar opening to "Creep" in some other thread about half a year ago. I thought I was crazy because nothing happened, but I guess this confirms it. Pretty stupid they are suing her though since Radiohead also was sued for taking that chord progression from The Hollies..don't understand how they are the ones doing the suing
