Copyright case studies

*CASE STUDY ONE:

Assessment of similarity between George Harrison’s song “My Sweet Lord”, and The Chiffon’s “He’s So Fine”.
Rating System: 5=exactly the same, 4=very similar, 3=somewhat alike, 2=barely the same, 1=not alike in anyway.
MY RATING - Melody: 3, Harmony/Chordal Structure:4 Rhythm:2, Tempo: 2, Lyrics: 1, Instruments: 1.
Only after listening a few times do i find real connection in these two songs.i believe that there are enough differances within the two , not to find Harrison quilty of coprright infringement.I wonder how much cash made the pain all go away and why has it been allowed to be continued to play.If i was that wrongly ripped off i would be damed if i would let the offender continue playing the song!!!!!
The songs differ in tempo,emotion, epression and content.I also find it hard to even try and sing the songs the same.If it had not been for this case study i would never have realised that there was any similarity.

*CASE STUDY TWO:
It is clear that the director of 12 Monkey's , Terry Gillian , has in fact used the vision created by Lebbus Woods and reproduced it in this movie. Woods drew this chair It is extermerly clear that Gillian knew that this was baltant copying of the design of the interigation room as he had reviewed the catalogue that the chair, Neo-mechanical Chamber, was published in and also had disscussions about this with his producer and production designer.
It is amazing though how a six figure sum paid by Universal Studios to Wood can make the injustice go away and heal the unlawfullness of it all. Never hearing of this movie or Artist i think they have both benifited from the publicity.

*CASE STUDY THREE:
Why would i bother to buy a copy of this in cd formatt when i can download it for free???????
Yes he is producing some illegal work but it has been taken out of context and its usual situation.Therefore it should be allowed to be fairly used. Don't we all in some why copy from others especially as artists.We are required to research constantly and therefore we are exposed vast quantities of ideas and thoughts.I believe that "present specific exceptions in the Act should be amended to make certain uses of copyright material lawful." I think that Fiar copyright could pose a real can of worms.
