Justin Bieber

August 5, 2016





That's the address for the pages of results for a Google search of the term "Justin Bieber rent."  I don't know if the articles are accurate about how much he pays for rent, but he's obviously a multimillionaire.

Does he really feel that he can't share with the woman whose song he plagiarized?  He has many financially successful songs.

Can't he retroactively sign an agreement with her that is like what he should have done before his song was published, share with her the money that he's already gotten from the song and also share with her money that he'll earn from the song in the future?

One of the articles that I read says that she has asked that he stop playing the song.  Does she feel like she has to ask that of him?  If she gets credit and the money that's owed her, is it all right with her if he doesn't stop playing the song?  If he liked that part of her music enough to want it to be part of one of his songs, isn't it a possibility that they could collaborate about something else?


This doesn't disprove plagiarism, does it?




That's a Skrillex publication at Twitter from May 27, 2016.

If the idea for "Sorry" started from the part of White Hinterland's song that's the subject of contention, then that's how other parts of "Sorry" would sound similar to the contended section, isn't it?  It doesn't seem to me that a recording of something that you pitch up or down, without any proof of how you got the idea for that recording, proves anything.
