Ever since I wrote a blog recently about IU's plagairism accusations and melodic plagiarism in general, I've been bombarded with people asking the following:
I've
been reluctant to dive into answering this question, simply because I
don't want to be "that guy" who people run to whenever there's a new
plagiarism case to ask what I think. The whole point of my last blog
was to hopefully get people to realise that similarity in music is a completely normal thing across all music styles and genres and to stop fucking obsessing over it,
and of course plenty of people completely missed that point and instead
used the post as a tool to obsess about the issue and picked things
apart even more - which was exactly the opposite to what I intended.
Yay me.
