The Beatles: Extraordinary Plagiarists. A Tribute to African American Music By Edgar O. Cruz
Well-researched and daring! A bomb waiting to explode! Revolutionary! THE BEATLES: EXTRAORDINARY PLAGIARISTS by EDGAR O. CRUZ cuts the Beatles? apple to reveal the core of the artistry: Where did all the pumping and smashing songs by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr came from? Following their creative cycle, it presents the origination of the 213 officially released songs, the first it is ever attempted. The brief of two decades of extensive research and editorial work, this 172-page book in seven chapters details how African-Americans shaped the art of the Four Lads of Liverpool and made them the most viable rock act of all time. Based on the recollections of the Beatles and the group?s constant insiders, past & present musicologists and pop culture historians, authoritative sources such as Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NME, Playboy, and the author?s own unique probing on the subject, here's the Beatles naked!

There was a movie made about motown and at the end it shows them taking the "new" group the Beatles under their wing. It also showed white Americans jeering at them for going inside.
Copycating black folks has been going on for thousands of years.

Did you know that black blues and R & B artists plagerize each other?
Good artists borrow, great artists steal
-the art is knowing what to take and how to change it to make it your own
The Japanese were beating the American car makers at one point. They didn't invent the car, so what

Beatles are not great composers are just a pop band.
The music industry owes much to black artists

So if they are not great composers why is there worry about plagiarism ?

It's like saying Lamborgini stole the idea from Henry Ford.
Some people know how to use ideas and apply them to new situations Others just cry

Usually when this happens you'll have to pay royalties.

There is a two bar rule. If you are under it you can get away with it.
Willie Dixon, the great bluesman successfully sued Led Zeppelin. A group with a lot more blues influence than the Beatles.
Chuck Berry successfully sued the Beach Boys an won, they stole most of the music part of the 1963 hit "Surfin' U.S.A." based on Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen"
movie-Cadilac Blues, Mos Def as Chuck berry, Beyonce as Etta James-good movie
In November 2000, Chuck Berry faced legal charges when he was sued by his former pianist Johnnie Johnson, who claimed that he co-wrote over 50 songs, including "No Particular Place to Go", "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Roll Over Beethoven", that credit Berry alone. The case was dismissed when the judge ruled that too much time had passed since the songs were written.

And there's Hip Hop, a music founded on plagarism
Do you mean by two bar rule, from the tonic note?
How about progressive notes?
What about House? It has a similar history as Rap. With the main difference of four on the floor.
quote: [Verse 1: Chuck D] Caught, now in court cause I stole a beat This is a sampling sport But I'm giving it a new name What you hear is mine P.E. you know the time Now, what in the heaven does a jury know about hell If I took it, but they just look at me Like, "Hey I'm on a mission." I'm talkin' 'bout conditions Ain't right sittin' like dynamite Gonna blow you up and it just might Blow up the bench and Judge, the courtroom plus I gotta mention This court is dismissed when I grab the mike Yo Flave...What is this?
[Verse 2] Get hyped, c'mon we gotta Gather around - gotcha Mail from the courts and jail Claims I stole the beats that I rail Look at how I'm livin' like And they're gonna check the mike, right? - Sike Look at how I'm livin' now, lower than low What a sucker know I found this mineral that I call a beat I paid zero I packed my load cause it's better than gold People don't ask the price, but its sold They say that I sample, but they should Sample this my pit bull We ain't goin' for this They say that I stole this Can I get a witness? Understand where we're goin Then listen to this, plus my Roland Comin' from way down below Rebound c'mon boost up the stereo Snakes in the morning Wake up, scared afraid of my warning They claim that I'm violent Now I choose to be silent Can I get a witness?
[Verse 3] C'mon get wit' it Something ain't right, I got to admit it Made me mad when I was on tour That I declared war on black radio They say that I planned this On the radio most of you will demand this Won't be on a playlist Bust the way that I say this: No Sell Out
[Verse 4] You singers are spineless As you sing your senseless songs to the mindless Your general subject love is minimal Its sex for profit Scream that I sample For example, Tom you ran to the federal Court in U.S. it don't mean you Yeah, cause they fronted on you The posses ready, Terminator X yes he's ready The S1Ws, Griff are you ready?
They say that I stole this I rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness?
