TFM.

i love this tracker.  and i love VGM music maker.

let the haters hate Shiru.  You've already changed the scene and brought about new stuff whether or not people are currently downloading the tool.  The idea of the tool sparked a lot of interest and that is EXTREMELY important.  no one can mess with that.  i think you should be proud of it and i for one, thank you for your hard work.  A lot of people wouldn't lift a finger to provide a tool for people - let alone for free.

and to the people who are bashing his program and demanding feature requests like little babies - you guys are fucking with an open source developer.  this is akin to demanding Gandhi give you food but with the proper spices and all the trimmings.   if you know the guy is sensitive - why are you pushing his buttons.  maybe you should re-evaluate your own shit and learn how to code.

bitch all you want Shiru!  Take it away if you want.  I think there was a lot of ungratefulness that got spun towards you.

if you update it everrrrr please send me a copy!

Yes - this is what companies do.  I don't care how the industry works.  It's  dumb and maybe they should change their corporate culture. I've worked in the music industry since I was 15.  There's a difference between appropriation (what good artists do) and plagiarism (what bad artists do) - and we should be telling these companies "NO." They tell you to say no if you're raped.  This is musical rape so stop flinging your arms in the air and giving up.

People here need to work in the "creative" business to realize how common place, how everyday's fare this is.
Have a good look around you and you will start to find a lot more "copies" of other things, basically most of what you are delivered is probably a copy of something else.

By the way, "Happy Birthday", as Wikipedia says, is a combination of a melody made by someone with the lyrics made by someone else. And the people who grabbed the original tune and added lyrics, copyrighted that to themselves. Isn't that fucked up? But they got away with it. They even managed to register it as their own, even though the melody was composed by someone else. With this I want to say that laws are fucked up and one has to be careful and know a lot (or get really great counselling) before diving nose-in into a legal issue, specially with a media giant. This sort of shit usually means a LOAD of trouble for the "little people".

you're coming about this from a pro-sample angle - i'm with you on the collage idea and yes - happy birthday is a fucked up story.  where you go wrong is your "this happens everyday" attitude and also, wikipedia is not the best thing to site when making a point.  This happens because we let it happen.  if chipocrite is saying there is a case - I'd trust his experience.  I actually know he has tons of professional music experience from his work with many many bands previously in the philadelphia area.  I also know first hand Chipocrite's ear is quite amazing from working with him.  This is theft and everyone in this scene should rally around the gooch, chip in a dollar, and pay for their lawyers because it affects everyone in this particular "creative industry" from the top down - and they are currently at the top as far as working and touring so we should all be upset whether you like the music or not.

Pete, if you read this and want to sue - i'll totally contribute to a kickstarter for your lawyers!

Ask yourself - what would Carl Sagan do though - maybe he'd turn to the pen before a lawyer?

i haven't done a comparison but - its not illegal to rip off chords, drum beats, or basslines (ie. things that accompany the main melody).  when you copyright a song (this happens by law when you create it) you are really copyrighting the melody.

someone tried to copyright the jazz ride cymbal swing pattern way back in the day... didn't go too well and some laws came from it.

sound recordings are a different story.  if they even touched the actual recording then wow they are totally fucked.
if they used the actual anamanaguchi melody then they are fucked and should be sued to oblivion.

however if they took a gooch song, replayed the parts (with hired studio musicians) and wrote a new melody overtop - that would be ok.  As long as you can prove that the melody on top has enough variation from the original "copied" piece and that none of the accompaniment parts are at all the main melody.

that was the problem with vanilla ice - queen proved that the bassline was the actual melody at one point in the song and hence all money went back to queen for that song.  pretty awesome in my opinion.

i guess i should listen now.

i know this because i gank chords and beats too.

I'm a guitar teacher so i can sight read and i usually write my chip melodies out on paper.  Its easiest for me at this point.  Reading and writing is NOT necessary to be a great musician - i've seen both cases be extremely successful, so really its whatever you think you need for your own particular art.  Most people who want to play music everyday for a living need to read music, but most creative types couldn't be bothered with this.  I find a lot of times its like this:  if you are super creative by nature its really hard to do technical things like read and write out music properly (totally different brain function), and If you are super technical by nature its hard to let the rigidness go and be creative.  In any case there are people who have both the technical and the creative and i usually admire them a lot.  We find a lot of those people in this scene.  and by technical - i don't necessarily think that has to even include the ability to read.  who cares really.  its all sound in the end.
