SNSD's 'Tell Me Your Wish' Plagiarised

[xiao-baka.livejournal.com]

SNSD, who has been surrounded by controversy due to plagiarism claims, have found that it was actually the female singer from Uzbekistan that used the SNSD without permission, and have received a huge shock.


The song had been recently circulating around the the internet titled 'Tell Me your Wish Original Song' and caused a stir among netizens. The song 'Ruqsga Tushgin' performed by female Uzbekistan singer Dineyra was uploaded on to YouTube in April, sparking rumours that SNSD were plagiarising music.

However, it was revealed that it was in fact Dineyra, not SNSD that had used the song without permission.

Universal Music Publishing Group, who own the rights to 'Tell Me Your Wish' stated on the 2nd of July that "We do not know who Dineyra from Uzbekistan is, and we have never given her permission to use this song." and continued to say, "Dineyra's version is clearly a case of plagiarism." They also stated, "We will pursue legal action over this blatant plagiarism." and vented their frustration.

SM Entertainment also released a statement, saying, "The rights to SNSD's 'Tell Me Your Wish' were bought officially from Universal Music Publishing group by SM, and received permission to release it for the first time in the world. We received a demo from the Dsign team, and SM adjusted the song, editing the melody and lyrics to create the new song." clarifying the rumours.

Weird but I LOLD

The word plagiarism is like, so overused in Korea.
I remember this thing about SHINee [I THINK] and the mask thingerr

[komorebi-chan.livejournal.com]

yeah, and most of the time(not going to say all the time) its not even plagiarism. Sure SM is unoriginal a lot of the time with the covering of the songs, but all these songs are bought out legally to be used/produced and whatever~

Oh yeah the mask thing, I have to admit the shoot did look strikingly similar to that London(?) magazine, I'm not sure if that counts as plagiarism or not, but the mask thing does suit SHINee's concept of Romeo and Juliet. I guess the photographer may have used that shoot as an inspiration and it just got blown way out of proportion because of that stupid mistake.

Uzbekistan had internet access?

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

Kudos to Pelle Lidell who responded fast to such an email. Especially when it's from just a fan.

[masturbia.livejournal.com]

Hold on, So how did she get the song beforehand?

The song wasn't released before April and SM brought the first rights so where in the hell did she get the song from?

[xiao-baka.livejournal.com]

Rumours have it that the demo tape got leaked. Nothing definite yet, though.

[srsbsns.livejournal.com]

Wow... that's a different kind of result o.o

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

LMAO ur icon.

[sugardrizzle.livejournal.com]

When I first listened to this song, I was like, "This kind of sounds like Britney's Circus". XD

[nudrive.livejournal.com]

That clears up things then.

Dineyra (http://www.dineyra.uz/)

♪lalala♪

[encyclopedicace.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the songs are basically identical - even down to the street noises at the beginning.

[whatdesuyo.livejournal.com]

With SM, you just don't know what's original or not.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Well at least once it's this way around.

[jtyy239.livejournal.com]

I just listened to the Usbekistan version and ngl, it's quite nice.

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

LOL i think its nice too.

[psychtiger.livejournal.com]

Look there is already a youtube video.


That Dineyra girl is ewglayyyy

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

internet is amazing.

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

well.....i wld love to say HA! in those netizens' faces on behalf of the girls. (:

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

tbh I think the 'damage' is already done, it was already out way before SNSD released it, and SM should have done some research, sure Uzbekistan is remote, but keep an eye on what you buy SM, seriously...the 'It's You' MV was leaked before it was supposed to be release, and now this? Beef up security LSM if you're not going to buy a private jet and better security for your artists...

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

SM doesn't have to listen to every artist ever before buying copyrights to a song. Especially when that song is supposed to have never been used by another artist before.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

So did GG write the song?
If yes then royalties will be paid if not royalties will be paid to the WRITER.
Yeah same song. She's not trying to chart on Korea Billboard and GG is not trying to chart on Uzbekistan Billboard.

Plagiarizing: To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source.

The song was GIVEN hahaha that's funny nothing is free SM, Silly rabbit.
HERE is a clear case of being HUSTLED. Handle your biz SM or the Netizens will eat you up. How do you handle your biz get a user contract for SM didn't buy the song they as in own it. Have a clause that states that the song can not be given or sold to anyone within a certain amount of time so that the party can make money.
