GUEST,that bloke who's come back here playing safe with melody rights ? (5) playing safe with melody rights ? 06 Jun 08


you write an origional song,
and the melody just comes to you so automaticaly and so quickly
like as if its a gift from some other unworldly state of being

[god/nature/spiritworld/matrix/Oz/cuckooland/etc/take your pick]


this melody is so good because you know it just is.

so humable and so catchy in that
almost instantly recognisable kind of way.

so its bound to be a hit..

Now the point here, is that George Harrison was only one amongst many
who got fingered and shafted by the mercenary copyright bloodhounds,
when a similar such melodious gift was so luckily dumped in his lap.


soooo..

how to deal with it these days..

If you write a new melody in all good faith and honest integrity,
but you feel insecure because its so good
it must surely have been created before;

how do you go about publishing it ?


My name.. say Cheeky Harrison..

Melody rights belong to Cheeky Harrison
until some other mean spirited mercenary @#&$ proves otherwise ?


tough one.. ?


and the reason is, because i just wrote that naggingly familiar
hit potential melody.....
