She (supposedly) stole their art. Do you really think (as I am quite sure you don't know enough about them) that they would simply say, "Ok, give us some money and get away with it"? And your last sentence just shows how unreasonable you are. Can't you have a discussion without relying on offensive slur? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no, if they weren't about the money they could have done something else but instead they wanted only profit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offering 40% will likely be less costly than a prolonged court case and lawyers fees. Not to mention the press of it all, but perhaps this will help spur streams for the song/album? Regardless, settling out of court is a lot cheaper and less messy which is likely why she offered it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are being objective here, less than 40 percent of the song's melody, chord progression and vocalization is similar to Creep. In no way does she owe them 100% of the royalties from an original song on her album. Your toss in of how much you dislike people under 21 (lmao) and how much you don't care for Lana's writing (who gives a **** about your opinion on that) only illustrate how weak your argument is.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were under 21 as well. For the record, Get Free is very deep song with a beautiful message about overcoming mental illness. And while I have a lot of respect for Radiohead's musical achievements and Creep is iconic, Get Free is the better of the two songs. Musical intergrity typically doesn't include trying to obtain 100% of the credit when you don't deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Is My Name 453 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I don't get it, isn't Radiohead the group who leaks their own albums? Didn't they put albums out for free or with little press? Why sue Lana? Haroon is coming to kill me D: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
