“Pharrell said, “The verdict hampers any creator out there who who is making something that might be inspired by something else,” and not just in music: “This applies to fashion, music, design… anything. If we lose our freedom to be inspired, we’re going to look up one day and the entertainment industry as we know it will be frozen in litigation.”” (HNHH)
So if I write a rap song inspired by outKast “bombs over Baghdad ” but I didn’t sample the record…I just rapped on it and used the same energy and rhyme scheme …I should be sued ? #bullshit
