GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism

Looks like the Heartbreaker is about to get his heart broken... Sony has responded to accusations of G-Dragon's alleged plagiarism and it isn't pretty!

As many of you recall, back in August, Sony noted similarities between G-Dragon's "Heartbreaker" & "Right Round" (Flo Rida) as well as "Butterfly" & "She's Electric" (Oasis). On the 21st, Sony reported their observations to the original producers of each song then waited for their response.

Furthermore, it isn't just G-Dragon who's under the heat - according to Freechal, "I Don't Care" by 2NE1 (supposedly akin to Lionel Richie's "Just Go") & Big Bang's "With U" are also under the same situation.

ATV Music Publishing, the South Korean branch of Sony, just announced the verdict on these alleged similarities. Today on Sisa Magazine 2580 (시사매거진 2580), a news programme on MBC, it was reported that officials from Sony sent YG Entertainment warning letters regarding the plagiarism. Sony's legal representative stated, "It was a hard decision for the music critics. However, they decided that there were similarities and accordingly issued a warning letter to the production company and composers. They have also denied YG Entertainment the permission to promote these songs."

So I guess it's official - all three entertainment companies of the Holy Trinity (aka SM, JYP & YG) are having some type of who-can-stir-the-biggest-controversy contest going on. In the span of a mere two months, we've seen mini implosions with TVXQ, Kangin, Jaebeom and now, officially, G-Dragon? Holy bejesus...

Regardless of whether you agree with this decision or not, I think Sony announced their "warning" (assuming they don't take more drastic measures) a bit late in the game - even if G-Dragon gets knocked off, he's already established a month-long reign over the music shows and generated explosive sales, including over 100,000 copies of his album in less than a week. Furthermore, fans already have their eyes on the "Breathe" MV which is coming out any hour now. Since "Breathe" got away scot-free, G-Dragon can still make the perfect getaway to a new song and new set of promotions... for now.

YG Entertainment has yet to respond regarding this issue. Stay tuned to allkpop as we remain the first to bring you breaking developments!

it was admitted back then that the composer copied right round beats for heart breaker...
but now listening to 2ne1's i dont care and just go, there are similarities too.
its a bad thing when you get charged by plagiarism, i hope that a warning letter will be enough.

This is a shocking issue~
As far as I know it's not allowed to copy others music if they didn't ask for permission~
I haven't heard the songs but I search for it~

ohh~ what will happen to them????????
Will be they suspended???
I hope this will be solve soon~

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:11 am

OMG!!
GD's Heart Breaker is so similar in Right Round
and does I don't care in Just go~~~
wahh~
I'm worried about them~

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:27 am

well they have to stop their promotions and they have to pay a huge sum of money for violating copyrights...

but since 2ne1 is dont promoting i dont care and GD already sold tons of albums, maybe they wont be affected. but we are still waiting for the next action of Sony. We are hoping for the best.

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 11:57 am

I'm hoping it will be ok too~

and it seems some fans don't really notice the similarity~
But I could hear the same rhythm

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 1:09 pm

yes, the rhythm is always the one that keeps artists in trouble... its sad that the composer had to share the beats of right round for heartbreaker.

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:23 pm

damn, either way it will affect both 2ne1 and G-Dragons career i hope its not too severe >_<

morning too to JB and cielo~
ohh~ JB has a company site awesome~
ohh~ JB what does networking do? I'm planning to choose beatween ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) and Civil Engr. and they said ECE has to do something with networking

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:58 pm

Networking or Multi Level Marketing doesnt do electronic stuffs.
Its a person to person word of mouth commercialization kinda stuff
where you introduce yourself as a Distributor and you're going to invite
more people to become a Distributor aswell, thats the market plan of
MLM Companies so their product will run. Aside from that, its a money
business where per person invite, you'll get commission on it. that goes
beyong your downlines to no limit downward.

it is called as a scheme-kind of business as of people say here in the
philippines and other parts of the world. but my company is legit.
in network marketing company. and what makes us legit is because of the law which
70% of profit must return in the form of consumable product.

sample of networking companies: FERN-C. DXN, Forever Living, Uno, Amway and The Trump Network(newest networking company build by the 10th riches man)

sorry for the off-topic >_<

Ha! Ha! Ha! You're right Neko. It was a shocking news. Can't believe that they will be charged with plagiarism.

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Tue Sep 22, 2009 6:26 am

yah~ and I keep saying here "Ala! Katangi!! (nung nagcompose)" "jeez! The composer is idiot!" xD
It kinda disappointed me.. but, I'm not disappointed to 2NE1 and GD..
i was disappointed to the composer~

Subject: Re: GDragon and 2ne1 in trouble of Plagiarism Tue Sep 22, 2009 8:07 am

yeah they are just singing what they handed to them.. but sadly, they are in front of the issue since they sing it... they are the ones who present it to people. so they get upset as well with all the criticisms..
