Belgijska balerina tuži Beyonce / Belgian ballet dancer set to take legal action against Beyonce

Beyonce je (ponovo) optužena za plagijat. Pre nekoliko dana belgijska balerina, Anne Teresa De Keersmaker, optužila je Beyonce da je bez njene dozvole potpuno iskopirala deo njenog čuvenog plesa, Rosas Danst Rosa, za potrebe spota "Countdown".

Jedna od rediteljki spota, Adria Petty, ovo nije porekla, ali je dodala da se na taj način promoviše balet.

Ipak, čuvena balerina razmišlja o tužbi i njen PR je tim povodom izjavio:

"Primetili smo više od nekoliko sličnosti. Prosledili smo detalje našem advokatu kako bismo ostvarili svoja prava".

Po objavljivanju spornog spota, balerina je objavila video kojim potkrepljuje svoje tvrdnje i koji možete pogledati ispod ovog posta.

Beyonce is (once again) accused for a plagiarism. Few days ago Belgian ballet dancer,  Anne Teresa De Keersmaker, accused Beyonce for ripping-of parts of her famous,  Rosas Danst Rosa, dance for "Countdown" video without a permission.

One of the video directors, Adria Petty,  didn't deny this but she also added that the video will introduce contemporary ballet to a massive new audience.
Still, the famous ballet dancer is thinking about a lawsuit according to her spokeperson who said:

“We noticed more than a few resemblances to the film. We have passed the details to our lawyer to see about our rights.”

After the video premiere, the ballet dancer posted her own video to prove her claims and you can watch it below.

Tužbe, plagijati... / Accusations, plagiarisms...

Tužbe za plagijat definitivno nisu retka pojava, posebno u svetu pop muzike koje i inače privlače veliku pažnju medija. Da krenemo redom. Kao što znate (a znate ako čitate ovaj blog), Leona Lewis je nedavno objavila novi singl "Colide". Sve je to super, samo što je snimila bez dozvole autora (da, ne krade samo Karleuša). Instrumental je uradio švedski muzičar Tim Bergling alias DJ Avicii i, kako tvrdi, na taj instrumental je dodat Leonin vokal bez prethodnog konsultovanja sa njim. Saslušanje obe strane je zakazno za 8. avgust. Naravno, poslušajte obe pesme, pa prosudite i vi. 

Tu je još jedan slučaj. Pevačica Rebecca Francescatti tvrdi da je pesma "Judas" Lady Gage, zapravo obrada njene pesme "Juda" iz 1999. godine. I ona je podnela tužbu, ali sudeći po isečcima ne verujem da će se obogatiti.

Accusations for plagiarism are definitely not rare, especially in pop music world which are closely followed by medias. So, let's start. As you know (and you know if you read this blog), Leona Lewis has recently released her now single "Colide". It's all nice, just it seems that she recorded it without an author's permission. An instrumental for the song recorded Swedish musician Tim Bergling alias DJ Avicii and, according to him, Leona's vocals were just added to his music without asking for a permission previously. Both sides will meet in court on Aug 8th. In a meantime, you can listen both songs below and judge for yourself.

There is another case.  American singer Rebecca Francescatti claims that Lady Gaga's "Judas" is a rip-off of her 1999 song "Juda". She filed a lawsuit, but according to snipets below, she won't get ritch.

GAGA'S SONG





REBECCA'S SONG

Lady Gagi preti tužba zbog plagijata? / Lady Gaga to face a lawsuit over a plagiarism?

Jedan producent iz Južne Koreje izjavio je da će tužiti Lady Gagu zbog pesme Born This Way jer veruje da je veoma slična pesmi Be Happy koju je uradio za tamošnji bend SNSD. 

Ovaj producent je rekao da će prvo pokušati da stupi u kontakt sa Gaginom izdavačkom kućom kako bi rešio problem, a ako ne uspe, predaću tužbu. U nastavku posta poslušajte snimak obe pesme i ocenite ima li osnova za tužbu.

Podsećam da su mnogi ovu pesmu po objavljivanju poredili i sa Madoninim velikom hitom iz 1989. godine Express Yourself.

One producer from South Korea said that he would sue Lady Gaga because of a song Born This Way because he believes it's too similar to a song Be Happy which he did for a local band SNSD.

This producer said that he will try to contact her publishing company in order to resolve this problem. If he doesn't succeed, he'll file a lawsuit. Below you can hear both songs and judge yourself if there's a reason for a lawsuit.

I'll remind you that Born This Way many compare to Madonna's big hit from 1989 Express Yourself.
