Musical Plagiarism Via Facebook

I am passionate in the arena of singing, fact of the matter being that I have numerous compositions basically uploaded for viewing in Youtube while some of them can be heard in my blog.

Naive as my thinking, all the way believing that once you & I made some song composition, in all certainty, the one who originally crafted the lyrics of such song is the utter owner.

That, no one can make similar song out close imitation of another author's music while representing it as one's own original work.

In my situation, as early as August 2015, I able to make a composition which you can hear it here.

The song been uploaded in social media in my @facebook account on August 2015.

But all the while, I heard somebody hugely popular singing with musical idea, that is, a melody or motif emanates from my own composition.

Further to share that, aforementioned song emits a sound recording similar to my song composition yet reusing the same in a different song.


 "What da ya think"

If the guy should not mean it, well and good dude!

Truth be told that nothing for this  time really comes from rags to sound composition anymore where technology helps man's life easier.

And to say it, music is no exception at all!

Highly likely, the first action bands will undertake about when they form their influences to include typically singing other people's music.

Bluntly to indicate that, they have no genre to share.

In my end, and allow me to point it as my heart bleeds really but keeping the same is the smartest thing to do as of the moment.

Best to share that my genre which I am passionate about manifest man's uniqueness.

Least to say it here that, I performed in my love for music in a specific and calculated style that related to the theme of my life story, which mean the past, present and the future one.

As the situation of my indigenous composition “What do ya think” has been similarly rendered which the melody and the sound emits in twin effects as mine earlier uploaded in social media.

As society conformed by saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery is not applicable to my situation.

You know why? Because the  one who allegedly imitate endowed with popularity beyond compare.

Is my allegation impressed with merit?

Utterly, I will declare affirmatively!

According to United States copyright law, absence of confession, musician to that effect who accuses others of stealing as to composition must prove “access”.

Simply put, thee alleged plagiarizer must have heard the song. Moreover, the same emits with similarity with unique musical components.

Worth to share this, which I got it in my readings that, even a music categorize as public domain which to say not protected by copyright, the same may still be plagiarism to copy a portion of it absence of attribution.

My naive allegation is humbly supported with proximate antecedent evidence resulted upon my imaginative search for the answer of WHY is this so?

Let it be known, and in the utter result of my research that a software exists long time ago (2006), that automatically generates music in the style of another composer, using musical analysis of their works.

I just want to share this with so you'll know that Computer Model Musical Creativity by David Cope, who wrote aforementioned software system called Experiments in Musical Intelligence.

This software is capable of analyzing and generalizing from existing music by a human composer to generate novel musical compositions in the same style.

EMI's output is convincing enough to persuade human listeners that its music is human-generated to a high level of competence.

For this reason, Cope's work has been said to not produce original music.

A different approach is been followed by Melomics, a technology focused on teaching computers the rules of music composition, not the works of previous composers.

Above-named technology has opened the way to truly creative computer-composers, like Iamus and Melomics109.

The records produced (Iamus' album and 0music) are in the computer's own style, so they cannot be considered a pastiche or plagiarism of previous works.

According to Theodor Adorno's highly controversial view, popular music in general employs extensive plagiarism: variety in the musical material occurs in details whereas genuinely original musical content tends to be sparse when compared to classical or art music.

Contradicting this claim is classical music critic Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times, who pointed out that many composers used material from previous composers, giving an example of "John Williams all but lifted the core idea of his soundtrack score from the Scherzo of Erich Korngold's Symphony in F-sharp Minor, written 25 years earlier."


So What has to Be Done?

I have to make a recording back home and register all my compositions at the United States Copyright Office, 101 Independence Ave. S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20559-6000

To conclude, I share this story of mine so that others similarly situated will be given an aura of information which the same can of use to their advantage. So that to avoid heart bleeds a bit....

The Meaning of Life Is Love: I Want To Be With You

Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like, 'why are we here?' and 'where do we go?' and 'how come it's so hard?'
~ Jack Johnson

                                                                     

In these bodies we will live, and in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love you invest your life
~ Mumford Sons


Earlier articles in this series have explored the meaning of life and the purpose of life. This article will be about love as the meaning. We will attempt to unravel why this is the most chosen answer for our poets and artists.


The meaning of life is the sum meaning of all of the events in your life. It is easy, relatively, to understand the meaning of a wedding. This is because a wedding is an event in your life that was designed to hold a specific meaning.

The same is true of smaller events, such as buying a pair of shoes or turning on a faucet. The actions that led to the event starts with you, and so these events are the easiest to understand because you simply have to understand what you meant when you did them.

And I Want To Be With You:

                                                                         


In order to understand the meaning of an event that you didn't initiate, you either have to ask the initiator, you have to understand the initiator well enough that you can guess their mind, or the action has to have a meaning that is shared by both of you due to a shared culture, such as the act of presenting an engagement ring.

When events aren't initiated by anyone, you must either determine that they have no meaning, or assign the actions to a universal initiator such as God in which case you would have to ask God, since you can't understand God's mind, nor do you share a culture with God.


Those that believe in God are left to ask God via prayer, and seek to understand the answers they receive. Others have simply accepted that it is impossible to know God's mind, and have determined to live a life without understanding the meaning while still having faith that there is one.

For those who don't believe in God, the meaning of life is found in the events that you choose to do, and so the meaning of a life is built throughout one's life by the actions you choose to take.


Actions undertaken for love are often considered to have the most meaning. For example, the meaning of hammering a nail is to strike the nail home, greater, to construct a chair.

However, if alongside these other meanings, the carpenter loves his craft, the action has more meaning. If the carpenter is making the chair for a loved daughter, the action has more meaning yet.

More importantly, actions done for the sake of love often contribute to long term goals that span multiple lifetimes, such as building the relationship with your daughter, which will in turn affect how she interacts with the world.

Or building an exquisite chair that makes your company the most sought after producers of chairs.


Love is not the only meaning of life, but it is a meaning that can inform and heighten everything you do

Tornadoes In Life Are Temporary Things, Working On To Improve Your Personal Life

                                                                         

                                       
Facing some difficulties in life likened to a tornado, oftentimes put us down in spirit to include the flesh!

But, for real, tornado is a temporary occurrence, the same with struggles in life. And to head on the issue, so as to strategically parry it as if placing in the trash bin is to accept and let it pass through in its natural death.

When you work you generally, feel better about yourself altogether. When you're working, your self-esteem will boast and that's always a great thing. Those who do not work hurt their body and mind.

On the other hand, somebody working a hard job because you know all the hard work you just did is going to pay off when in the long run you will be paid for your hard work.

Still, you want to balance your workflow, since overworking is the course to reversing life improvement. Greed gets you nowhere.

How work improves personal life:

Working will do a lot for you, it will make you feel like you’re going somewhere in life and that is always a good feeling.

Your self-stem is going to soar and that is a good thing. Working is your security blanket.

When you work, you feel good, since when the bills come in you will have the cash to pay. The downside is, many people work at jobs they do not enjoy. For this reason, you should consider a job you do not like as temporary and work to achieve the job you will love.

How do those that can’t work improve their personal life?

If you are not able to work for some reason, like health issues or whatever reason there is still something that you can do to help. Maybe you can’t get out.

You might want to make something for the homeless like a scarf or a blanket. If you can get out maybe you will want to go voluntary your time at your local hospital or maybe the schools in the area, the library is a good place to work.

Disability is not a complete wipe out. Rather, people on disability can still work; only they have to lighten the load more so than others.

If you lack skills, education, you may want to attend online schools or a school in your local area.

College is one of the best things the world has to offer you. When you attend college, you learn, feel good, acquire skills, etc. In my end, never did I taste the savor of a college grad. Humbly, I am a certified nursing assistant yet I end up driving a truck.

Accordingly, college will open many doors for you, including helping you to learn yourself. One of the prime reasons that many people have problems in this life is because they do not know themselves

Online you'll find a wide array of job services and schools available to you. The sky is the limit nowadays, so take your rocket to reach the sky.

Before leaving this site consider to listen my song for you to savor the taste of originality.

                                                                       

And if you mean to like this song, kindly please share this to others and, I am glad to share for more information that you can use for the journey we are in now!

Best of all,

Don't Force Somebody To Dine with You

                                                         

As passionate in music, I can easily create lyrics to produce a song endowed with circumstances beyond compare!

Be that is it may, let us proceed to our goal in life, whatever happens, loveless as may be, but goal is alive to objectively attain to.

Before anything else, allow me to share my indigenous song coming from my heart, this was created in view of unlikely sentiments from somebody out there far distance away from my location, who turned me down.

Letting her know that my heart has reason of it's own on which reason it really knows best. But despite the odds in life, my goals, the same vividly waked me up to stand and move forward, with an objective hand to reach that reachable goals!

In life, we have a formula to use that helps us to create goals that assist us in improving our personal life. To start these goals however, we must use our inner qualities.

The inner qualities include skills, ability to commit, ability to set priorities, ability to accept failure, will to say no, and so on. We have self-awareness, personality and other details within as well that helps us to find ways to improve our personal life.

Once you find your qualities, develop them you'll find it easy to set goals.

To get started, consider brainstorming, long-term goals, short-term goals, evaluation of these goals, brainstorming some more, evaluating, and so on.

You want to consider managing your time as well.

Be sure to start your plans with short-term goals. The short-term goals should lead up to your long-term goals. Short-term goals should include what you want to accomplish in the next few years.

Do you plan to open a business? Do you plan to move?

Do you plan to start a new job?

Each question will lead you into a good direction as you find answers.

For example, I plan to go home in the Philippines purposely to arrange all my created songs next year (2016), and possibly look for a best lady suited for me! Wow 'charing is in "keleg" to the max...

You may certainly inquire on how do I plan to accomplish that goal? Where where I get money to finance aforementioned plan?

Well, I have many options as yours,  first off is, to check your resources, learn new resources and continue building your dreams to improve your personal life. That is what I am doing and, the same is effective despite I faced de-buckles in life!

After you layout the plans for your short-term dreams, start working toward your long-term goals.

For instance, in the next ten years what do you see yourself doing? Use your visions and voices inside to cultivate a plan. Brainstorm your ideas.

To set up long-term plans keep them realistic. Be sure that your long-term falls in accord with your short-term goals.

For example, if you plan to start a business in the next few years, build upon this dream and plan to become productive and established in the near future. Start saving money to back your plans.

You will need to set up a budget that allows you money to save.  You have many options so spread your wings and reach for the sky.

Best regards,

DMS
