"Wild Wolf disco" with the brainwashing melody, last year was a mess, and also made the singer Dong Baoshi famous.
From appearing in the New Year's Eve Gala of Four Channels, to "New Year disco" adapted from the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rat, to donating the copyright proceeds of "Wild Wolf disco" to the families of medical staff in Wuhan, Dong Baoshi became a household name. But you can’t think of it, the rhythm of this song has been accused of plagiarism...
On February 3, Finnish music producer Vilho Ihaksi and copyright owner Massima International formally issued a lawyer’s letter through a domestic lawyer, suing the song "Wild Wolf "disco" infringes the rhythm copyright of "More Sun". His attorney posted a video of producer Ihaksi on social platforms, which showed the rhythm of "More Sun" and production engineering documents. (Video can be stamped)
Through the video display, you can hear that the rhythms of "More Sun" and "Wolf disco" are exactly the same, even the "Ihaksi" pronounced by the male voice at 23 seconds has not changed.
Ihaksi stated that this song was created by him in 2018 and can be given to netizens for free, but not for commercial use. However, after Dong Baoshi heard it, he not only used it to do the rhythm of "Wild Wolf disco", but also received a lot of business performances and received a lot of compensation.
On January 10, 2020, Ihaksi had notified Dong Baoshi of the infringement, but unfortunately he did not deal with it, including the record company Emperor did not respond, and continued to let this song on the Spring Festival Gala.
Chinese musicians seem to be prevalent in "usage doctrine".
Zhang Wei's "Happy Swish" is plagiarized from Japanese group PUFFY's "K2G Running To You"; Cai Jianya's "Red High Heels" is copied from American group The Weepies' "Take it From Me"; Flower Congee's "Mom Wants Me" Married", plagiarized the song of the same name by the former Soviet Union Alexandrov Red Flag Song and Dance Ensemble...
Looking at past cases, most musicians apologized and compensated, but plagiarism is still a trend, and it has no warning effect. After the
plagiarism incident, Dong Baoshi's agent dumped the pot to a "Mr. Chen", saying that he had purchased the copyright with him, and other matters were handled by the lawyer.
