taking inspiration doesn't mean they should get 50% of cut, it sets dangerous precedent.

yep. people hated robin thicke because he is kind of a creep and so everyone loved it when marvin gaye's estate sued his ass over that one song. If they weren't so biased tho they would realize that the suit is complete bullshit. inspiration, sampling, referencing, etc is everywhere. "original" just means u don't recognize the influence lol

Yeah this is a common complaint but if the focus is really on the art she should have no problem paying her dues to the og. Too many artists are getting stolen from and not credited, that's f***ed up either side of the fence you're on.

they dont do these lawsuits for rap hits or Future would be the richest rapper ever

50 PERCENT? SHE'S TAXING

yep f*** gaye estate for this

I noticed a lot of s*** flies out the window when it comes to Olivia with the love she has

Like people straight up don’t care about the very same things they’d care about for another artist.

I can't believe we got music "fans" on here that DON'T want to see artists get paid. S***s crazy

It was always very clearly a rip off lol

Hope Hayley gets the bag she deserves

good 4 u song of the year sorry

Imma keep it a buck I just listened to the song for the first time ever and the s*** was blatant to the point I thought it was a sample and would’ve expected Paramore to already be getting a bag from this…

mashing Good 4 u up with Misery Business makes me love Good 4 u even more, it sounds so good.

tbf it’s not like anyone invented teen angst. she isn’t stealing her art direction she just happens to get it from the same source as everyone else (Carrie by Stephen king, blue velvet etc). It’s more unoriginal than stealing.

At the same time though, her music influences are worn on her sleeves to the point that it’s almost remaking the same song. on her new album, I don’t think of any of the songs as Olivia rodrigo songs but as remade Taylor swift, lorde, Hayley Williams etc songs

who remember when Radiohead sued lana cause one of her songs sounded like creep

Other people s*** is essential to the creative process

That’s a good thing. Her white hood ass needed to be checked

Disney Corporation can bankroll the royalties. She isn’t gonna be friends with y’all. Pop fans are so f***ing weird.

idc about this song cause yeah it does sound similar but i am only defending this cause it sets dangerous precedent in the future when labels and management gonna just will be handing out lawsuits to anything which sounds similar. Does are inspiration and vague similarities really enough to earn writing credits and 50% of the money made??

Both songs trash.

Sour is just an amalgamation of obvious millennial sounds from the early 2000s + Lorde it's actually crazy how well it did for solely relying on nostalgia

Kanye gonna get 50% publishing for drakes entire catalogue
