Are you a music elitist or do you not care where a song comes from to like it?

@swirlie some people are like this music isn't good or don't take it seriously because it comes from a cartoon, show, game or some other place.

like theres some epic pieces of music in pokemon game but people would invalidate it because its not just a song.

@popmol
What you describe is the basis for how music fraud evolves very innocently.

@swirlie how do you mean music fraud?

@popmol
If you hear a piece of music associated with a pokemon game, who created that piece of music?

And if credit for whoever wrote that piece of music is not acknowledged somewhere on the packaging of that pokemon game, then was the music stolen from someone who doesn't know it was stolen?

...or was the music specifically written for that pokemon game by it's game creator?

@swirlie well no they are given credit.
it was made for the game.

but people will not take it seriously because it comes from a game.

@popmol
But what if you took that game music and used it to create a song which you called your very own and then had that music published?

If people who listened to your song had never played pokemon, they would never know the song was actually pirated from a pokemon game and would therefore give you full credit for making such a good song.

But was the song your's in the first place?, is what becomes the issue with music fraud.

@swirlie thats not within the scope of my question, thats for a fraud question.

@popmol
Okay, I understand the scope of your question, but let me ask you a question then...

If you knew the song you were listening to was stolen or was pirated from another source, would you still buy it?

Would you still listen to it even if you liked it, despite it being stolen music?

@swirlie i would not.

i would listen to it but also steal it. steal from a thief and the worlds karma is almost back to full

@popmol
Yes, good point.

@popmol Pokémon music ewwwwwww
Just kidding though I just thought it funny 😂😂

@being very rude! 😋
