*Update* NOT TRUE: Plagiarism by GDragon
ALL THE ARTICLES ABOUT PLAGIARISM AND ABOUT HOW THEY SENT IT TO THE STATES IS ALL A LIE
A person from VIPZ called Warner Chappell and Sony to confirm this for us; Warner Chappell and Sony both have not come in contact with any journalist or writer to publich this. Warner Chappell(who has the copyright for Right Round) said they are still doing meetings inside their company and THEY HAVE NOT EVEN SENT THE SONGS TO THE STATES YET. Sony(who has the distribution rights for She’s Electric) aren’t even taking this stiuation in consideration(they don’t think it’s a problem at all).
THUS ALL THE ARTICLES ABOUT PLAGIARISM AND ABOUT HOW THEY SENT IT TO THE STATES AND CONFIRMED IT IS ALL A LIE.
**Adding to that Warner Chappell nor Sony have made an ‘official’ stand on anything.
All the articles saying they have Warner Chappell’s or Sony’s official stand or side of the story is just a plain lie.

The copyright owner to Flo Rida’s ‘Right Round’ has came out to confirmed that Big Bang GDragon’s solo debut song ‘HeartBreaker’ has committed plagiarism to the former.
Warner Korea, which is the publishing company to ‘Right Round’ in Korea, came out to say on 18th August, “The song ‘Heartbreaker’ which was revealed in full today has been confirmed to have plagiarised ‘Right Round’ by the composer. And the composer of ‘Right Round’ in America is in the dilemma of what to do and how to deal this case.”
It has been known that from the American side, they have already did an investigation of the whole song of ‘Heartbreaker’.
Warner Korea said, “The headquarters of Warner in Korea has already proposed the problem the American side with the judgement of the composer on the issue confirmed. But it is in the composer’s decision whether to give up on fighting for copyrights or to demand for a legal lawsuit.”
Here’s an article which came in after the above article (just to give more insights to the situation)
The company in Korea which holds 50% to the copyrights to ‘Right Round’ with Warner said in an interview on 18th August, “If we look at the song as a whole, we do not think that ‘Heartbreaker’ plagiarised that of ‘Right Round’.”
The person in charge said, “We do not know if there is a part to the rap which sounds similar, and the climax and highlight to the song is different also. Also the melody to the both songs are different.”
“With this reason, we cannot say that the song plagiarised that of ‘Heartbreaker’. There is so many cases of artistes getting inspiration from one another lately, If we are going to rule the song plagiarism just because it has some parts which feels the same, then many artistes and producers will fall into serious censorship.”
The person continued, “Whether the song has committed plagiarism the final decision lies in the original composer. Before they confirm that, we cannot rule the song as plagiarism.”
It has been known that there are about 10 people who are in charge of the original composing and lyrics to ‘Right Round’. This will include the person who came out with idea of the rap, the person who wrote the rap, the different people who made the special melodies.

My thoughts: Plagiarism is the wrong term for this issue; it’s more like copyright infringement.

This news article and content is so misleading! So he didn’t plagiarise just that the first part of the song sound “similar” to Righ Around (this is that person world in the artical) that in my opinion is not plagirising! Also I heard that some VIP call these company and they said they never issue any statment of any kind! Bleh people can’t let this go!
I’ve edited to add my thoughts.
Plagiarism is the Wrong word for this; it’s copyright infringement
Aside from the rapping the beginning, the song sounds different from Right Round. If plagiarism or copyright infringement is proven, what happens? Will he have to pay a fine or stop promoting the song?
this is f-ing BS!..bs i say….there are so many songs out there that are similar to each other nothing has taken part and now this….just cause its GD…ugh enough said from me..
@medirin: IF it is proven, YG may have to pay a fine or come to a settlement.
@txye: You don’t need a whole song for it to be copyrighted infringement.

I agree with Sophia…. They shouldn’t use the word Plagiarism… it should really be copyright infringement. It was only the fist verse of the song that sounded like Right Round. The Korean Warner has cause a BIG and unnecessary scene for YG, GD, Korean Warner themselvs and A LOT of VIP fans.Wow if only I could imagine how YG feels about this right now…
I’m just happy to hear that all of this has clear up.GD can move forward with the release of his solo album and have major success despite the hateful netizens. People should really be careful of what they say and what words they use when it comes to law. i know this is blogging but at some point this comes off as total character assassination.That can turn into an ugly lawsuit very quickly.In the US lines are drawn when people begin to commit acts of slander and state false facts. I don’t know if Korea has those type of laws but netizens should really be put in their place. Other then that they only hype it up even more.
this is getting to ridiculous, now can they just stop now way can flo rida say this song is plagerized, just imagne how pissed G dragon must be right now, if it was me i wouldnt be able to sit still at all
it’s like when ever yg releases a track straight away articles comes out saying that they copy..man whatever the media can go too far..
I agree Jess. Man, let GD have his day. The fuck.
How come no one is posting the Butterfly one??? LOL That one is worse of the bunch to have been copyrighted infringement. The ’so-called’ bit that is similar is throughout the song.
Niksstub say: At all is not present.
