a example of a famous case of copyright in music
Vanilla ice vs Queen & Bowie
Song- ''under pressure'' and ''ice ice baby''
Queen- ''Under Pressure''
vanilla ice - ''ice ice baby''
Both songs at the start of around 30 seconds sound the same even if the song ice ice baby has added a few more sounds you can still hear the same start of the song under pressure.
Vanilla ice became a household word for a while, not because of his talent but because of the copyright infringement that occurred in 1990 when it came to light that he had sampled Queen and David Bowie's ''under pressure'' without consent or license. Ice Ice Baby hit number one on the charts in the united states. Vanilla ice altered the rhythm of the baseline thinking he would thereby avoid any questions of credit, royalties, license or even permission. This case never went to court as it was clear that vanilla ice had stolen the sample without permission. he settled out of court with Queen and David Bowie for an undisclosed but very likely very high amount. ice ice baby has been released in many different versions, since then, with all of the legal procedures followed.
Sam, please add an example of a famous case of copyright infringement.
