true, there's allready a band called HIM

Because intellectual property is not so restrictive to cover this.
And it endorses satire and criticism.
t. someone who actually has read a book.
Blake Hall
ooohh watch out we got a reader here
Ryder King
Was it only the cover/art that got copied or the music is similar as well?
Ayden Perez
Go back to /lit/ you pretentious bitch we're all stupid here.
Nicholas Morales
Musicians are so god dam stupid
Jayden Gomez
>a book
what
John Allen
/lit/ has plenty of stupid people too, like all those catholic fedoralords.
Eli James
Who?
Charles Gutierrez
She's not threatening legal action, you wanna copyright lawyer. She's calling him out for being an unoriginal hack. And she's right
Jaxon Smith
>t. someone who actually has read a book
Elijah Thompson
Literally who?
Gavin Foster
This is about as "unoriginal" as Meet the Residents or Dig Me Out, there is nothing wrong with using similar album art. Unless you have listened to both and can say that he is ripping of her musical style as well, I see no problem
Nolan Bell
why is what allowed
being salty on twitter or poor remakes of shitty cover art
Nathan Sanders
Yeah, making an intentional reference to something else isn't copying it and doesn't imply that you don't have ideas of your own. Parody is also a creative act.
Xavier Green
Meet the Residents cover is pretty clearly supposed to be satire, bad example.
Lincoln Gray
How is OP not supposed to be satire?
Owen Ward
It's in the same style of R&B as H.E.R., it's a little closer than just being in a rock band and liking the Kinks.
Juan Wright
After listening to both it does just sound like H.I.M. is deliberately jacking her aesthetic and style to make it seem like he's an associated act.
Levi King
>t. Dumbass who has only read one book
Completely misread his point btw
Angel Jones
The two examples you listed are homage to a classic and an outright parody. HIM was released almost immediately after HER and doesn't say anything with its album art beyond being a facsimile of the record it copied. The music doesn't need to sound identical for that to be obvious, or for the art itself to be a blatant copy. It's not even clear how it's a "response". It's pretty cheap and lazy creatively.
Carter Lewis
Is this the band from finland? I am confused.
James Sullivan
No, the H.I.M. she's talking about is another RnB artist
Austin Kelly
who the fuck is either of them?
Juan Powell
I hope someone makes a "Zir" cover in the exact same style but have the color be green
Camden Foster
I agree, people getting upset over such trivial things should be shot.
Bentley Scott
/lit/ is and has been a Sup Forums band for at least a full year now. Catholics are the least of their problems. At least their philosophers are actually interesting.
Thomas Butler
He's only read one book
