Plagiarism?


Producer and DJ Adam Freeland has started the legal procedure against Black Eyed Peas. Musician is sure of the fact that they’ve stolen his song “Mancry” and used it’s melody in their “Party All The Time”, which was released on the album “The E.N.D. (The Energy Never Dies)”, said ContactMusic. Freeland had placed both melodies on his Twitter micro-blog in order to give his fans a chance to compare it and give their own opinion. It’s a typical misunderstanding between bands and musicians, who stole what or why such and such melody sounds so similar. Usually these debates end up in mutual disagreement and finally cease to exist because often they do sound similar, but there is no act of plagiarism too. Proves are scarce in situations like this one. At the same time scandalous blogger Perez Hilton who had recently sued Black Eyed Peas manager Polo Molina, insists that the band could hear Freeland’s song during his personal private party, which took place in 2008, before “The E.N.D.” came out.  In other words, lawyers are already talking, but there is nothing on when they will take these talks to court. Currently, Black Eyed Peas are getting for the grand world tour in support of the album mentioned above.
