I had a listen to the Ed Sheeren and Robin Thicke cases, and can detect strong similarities between Ed Sheeren's songs and the ones he was alleged to have plagiarised (one has a near-identical melody and harmony, the other sounds near-identical apart from the melody but a semitone lower), but with the Robin Thicke one it is mainly the style and beat that are similar and the melody and harmony are totally different, so as a hobbyist musician I find the Robin Thicke verdict concerning.Īs for Doom I and II's soundtracks, I think until recently it was generally assumed that as a lawyer Bobby Prince determined how much he could get away with, before he revealed otherwise in his interview.
I agree, I listened to several of the comparisons from Mick Gordon's soundtrack and I can believe that some of them are recreations but two or three of them came across as so similar that either someone spent ages doing as faithful a recreation as possible or (far more likely) ran the original tracks through audio editing software.
