The Cuphead OST composer is claiming that the likeness to the Mario world athletic theme was "totally unintentional" and implying that he wrote the song but the entire song is actually 100% copied from someone else.

The song has probably fallen out of copyright, meaning it's a free for all.
If proven in a court of law, yes. Otherwise, no until then.
Hi YandereDev
This is the kind of shit people care about in video games now? Jesus
who gives a shit
I couldn't really find any concrete proof that Tom Brier composed it since the only source is from those youtube videos and the actual credited name is Brian March but that is a combination of his name and Eric Marchese so that makes me think it was probably never copyrighted in the first place. Even so taking credit is still plagiarism.
>I'm ok with supporting theifs
Kys amerifats, better lose some weight before your fat ass target gets robbed and shot next
That's right, theifs are the best.
>mfw I'm not even american
>somebody makes a HURR CUPHEAD IS LE STEALING MARIO MUSIC XD thread and it gets 300 replies
>I make a thread with actual proof that the composer did actually steal music
>who cares
I honestly don't know what I expected. Nobody cares about anything that isn't a reddit tier shitpost anymore.

post yandere shitty 'codes'
who fucking cares, you piece of shit. this board is full of pirates and you're trying to tell me how theft is terrible.
fuck your uncle
Why would anyone give a single shit that he copied a famous ragtime song which isn't even copyrighted at this point?
>YandereDev suspecting others of being thieves
What a joke.
Its not a old ragtime song the guy who wrote it is playing it live in the video. Plus he's not just copying it he's claiming that it was an original composition and is profiting from it.
>mfw he starts banging the table with his fist
Fuck off a die in a puddle of your own urine you fucking retard
Yeah I know what fucking ragtime is. How about you actually watch the videos because then you'll realize I'm not talking about a similarity in genre or style its literally a 1 to 1 copy note for note.
LOL
hows the hairline going eva :^)
Plaigarism can be sorta bad but it really doesn't mean anything in this instance.
Nobody's getting hurt and I seriously doubt any of the people actually involved care.
It's one of those things people get angry about on principle despite the magnitude being completely negligible.
And we're telling you that Kondo or whoever the fuck composed the athletic theme didn't do it first either, you jew nosed faggot.
fuck off eva
He only got hit once why is he sperging out? God damn
And he had 4 hearts, utter trash
probably trying to get the best score for the level for his gay cheevos
>Be bad at game
>Get so mad you start a personal defamation campaign against the developer
Actual insanity. You're going to end up shoot up a school, you fucking lunatic.
Why you posting this on Sup Forums if you care so much? Contact cuohead composer, ask him about that, contact the fucking dude you linked and tell him about that. Nobody fucking cares here on Sup Forums, nobody is going to suck your dick for "uncovering the truth"
The way he hits his table is so bassy
like it's the opening to a sick industrial beat
Dear god...
LEAVE THE FUCKING GAME ALONE ALREADY!
IS IT REALLY THAT BAD FOR THOSE FUCKERS FOR A GAME TO BE XBONER/PC EXCLUSIVE THAT THEY NEED TO DO COPYRIGHT POLICE JOB JUST TO DISACREDIT THE GAME?
GET A LIFE PEOPLE! GO AND ENJOY YOUR OWN FUCKING EXCLUSIVES! WE DESERVE THIS ONE!
Ohshit, a song that was recorded in the past 5 years sounds like another song? Jesus fucking Christ, how is this allowed?
then you literally don't understand music because it isn't a 1 for 1 copy. its a totally different chord progression and different melody. ragtime all sort of sounds similar but that doesn't mean he copied it. learn more about music before getting your panites in a bunch
WHO
FUCKING
CARES
USE THE FUCKING CATALOG
WE DON'T NEED 20 FUCKING CUPHEAD THREADS
>Yeah I know what fucking ragtime is
Apparently not because you think one of the simplest and most common ragtime arpeggios is exclusive to fucking Mario
see he's just buttmad that he sucks balls at the game and decided to shipost on twatter
Who cares. Stop whining about everything and go play and enjoy video games instead.
There's an entire genre of old piano music that sounds exactly like that, you ignorant kelp. Think it's called "ragtime".
>actual proof
Go away Yanderedev
Remember to like and subscribe to my channel!
>its literally a 1 to 1 copy note for note
You don't know shit about music
Who cares. It's still one of my favorite songs in the game.
Fuck off Yandere Dev. Don't you have your fanbase of 12 year old to spazz out to? Go cry plagiarism to them.

Reminder that inspiration bordering on theft is just kinda how music works.

>Couldn't pin it for a Nintendo copyright after getting BTFO in the first thread

>Spread this nitpicking around as plagiarism because you're asspained the game will do 1000x better than MMD mental disorder simulator
Absolutely pathetic
you people are gonna end up killing a guy
>Tom Brier
Poor guy.
Naw it probably was intentional since fag playing SMW before could just have had that theme in his head which would have come out whenever he composed shit.
It's ok when Japan does it.

You're a baby.
What do you mean, you people?

Where did you read he's suspecting anyone of thieving?
Read again pic mongrel.

You look like a fucking turtle
you know who you are
>no ids so op can literally be anyone
>lets pretend op is yandere dev so that these threads stop happening
>inb4 random people start making these threads so yand-dev gets blamed more
Ragtime music is public domain. The Earthbound shops had this song and Nintendo continues to use it because it is public domain.

>haha
Nice try faggot, should've just used the "it's an homage" excuse.
Listen, I don't fucking know anything about music and I can tell that they're not the same song. You're basically pointing to two songs in the same genre and saying "THEY SOUND SIMILAR! THEFT! THEFT!"
All songs in a genre are gonna sound similar.
>The Cuphead OST composer is claiming that the likeness to the Mario world athletic theme was "totally unintentional" and implying that he wrote the song
That's strange, 'cause in the image you posted he literally stated without any implication that the figure was "already nearing a century old when it was used in Super Mario World."
I'm going to guess by your usage of the word 'song' that you're not terribly familiar with music, so I've got a hot tip for you: in the future, if you ever think you've got a hot idea about a subject matter you know absolutely nothing about, take a deep breath and realize that you probably don't.
yandare, pls
Go back to infinity chan you filthy jew loser
not an muh dude.
Its not the same song you retard.
Sup Forums lately reaches the pinnacle of retardness matched with Sup Forums. I would ignore them.
you cared enought to look this video up and post it
Reminder that the Punch-Out title theme is an actual 1-1 old-timey fight theme
>Autists and most of Sup Forums have no basic understanding of genre tropes and musical history
I mean i don't expect it, but come on. Stealing? Retarded.
T. Asset Stealer
If you're yanderedev there's an explanation for you retardation. If not, youre just a retarded Nintendie
they are called "ragtimes" for a reason, it's a style of piano play.
SMW's "Atlhetic Theme" is actually called "Athlete's Rag"
>YandereDev
>competent
this seals the deal, folks
Seriously does this person not realize how much Nintendo took advantage of the public domain back in the early days? The original Mario Bros is all classical songs.
fug i messed up
meant to say "not an argument, muh dude
yeah, dont know why they're going out on yand dev.
especially teh clip of him banging on shit. We've seen too many streamers do that shit. Feels more like a vendetta if anything.
Yandere dev could literally be a lurker and just asking a question to help further this thread to obscurity so it doesnt happen. No one fucking knows unless you do illegal shit.
desu i do like nintendo but i only recently learned that they did some pretty shitty things in legal battles. Like the guy who started the rpcs3/ps3 emulator and the wii-u emulator. He got his life ruined because of nintendo even though emulation is 100% legal.
youtube.com
Ugh I can't belive Tony Tallarico thought he could get away with it
Oh Eva, you might be mad but at least they finished their game
Fuck off, eva. You're like the faggot that stopped MGS from using its main theme because he thought it sounded a bit like some dead Russian's song from the 1800s.
prove its eva
There is no way those mario songs are still in copyright. Its irrelevant even if he did
>yanderedev calling out other, real devs for attention
>he didn't even discover the similarity himself
There's multiple DBZ games and media that will never see the light of day a second time with the original soundtracks because of this

best thing I've seen all day
prove he's calling people out.
Could be a simple question. Could be coincidence.
you dont know, you're blowing smoke out of your butt desu, senpai.
Tom Brier is just a master piano player who some guy gives vidya ragtime music to for him to signtread, and he puts it on YouTube. He's just a piano player, he never wrote for a video game.
It's a fucking ragtime you fucing nintendildo degenerate
You're not likeable, you've never been likeable. You make money by childrens parents money. You've always been a sleezy trashy human being. You look gross, you act like the kids who fund your game and you can't even develop. You pay other idiots because the only thing you're good at is being a pitiful piece of human garbage. You will never become anything worthwhile. You're like what now, late 20s/early 30s? Yet you're still doing the same shit here almost a decade now. What a loser. It must suck to not have the guts to kill yourself.
>asks a simple question
>HE"S CALLING PEOPLE OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mario's athletic theme definitely isn't literally 1:1 an old rag song in the public domain or anything, no sir.
Author's life + 70 years has been the default in US copyright since 1978, friend.
Come back when you've learned how copyright expiry works.
