I wish to praise the young artists of today as respects to their Business Savvy.
However, much of what went on in the earlier part of the Music Industry with regards to the theft of Music has carried forward to todays Music and Musical Artists.
Congress needs to implement more Rigid Guidelines and enact Stricter Laws as it applies to PLAGERISM.
I have a friend who was listening to a song by a popular young Music Artist and wondered why she knew the Lyrics to a song when at the time the song had just been released. This friend went back through her records and copyrights, complete with postmarks and discovered that it was her song.
To date neither the Artist nor her Representatives have contacted my friend.
Personally speaking, I feel the Artists should make it their personal business to do their HOMEWORK whenever some presents supposedly “NEW MUSIC ” to
them. I have urged my friend to seek a Legal Remedy, but she says she believes that people who do wrong will get what they justly deserve someday.
I will say this to the ARTIST who gives thanks at another AWARD SHOW to their Mother and to God should also THANK COOKIE HARRIS AND PHIL MEDLEY
for the song originally entitled “BEFORE I GET TOO OLD”/BMI PUBLISHING.
These new Artist have heard quite a lot about how Artist who came before them,
paved the way for them, opened the door for them were constantly RIPPED OFF, not given any credit, nor monetary compensation for their Music, and yet some of todays Artist are perpetuating the same injustices. I have always said that if you want to see who a person really is deep down inside, put money into the equation and thats when the true nature of a person is revealed.
If anyone is interested and wishes to follow up on the info I just revealed. You may contact me at my Email Address.
Thanks for the opportunity to air a little dirty laundry.
