As usual people are doing the most.

Out of the millions of songs out there, some of you think none have the same lines? Some of you are a damn mess.

She's a fan of his but he betrayed her so easily

I thought a Beyonce stan would understand and empathize with us since their fav is often fired with similar accusations.



I'll keep it cute from now on.

Nope. Not at all. Anything else?

[Barbarella]

What a reach.

This thread is a mess.

It's a generic line and this is such a BS controversy.

Artist A sang "I'll never forgive you for the pain you caused me"

OMG Arist B sang "I will never forget the pain you caused me"

OMG THAT ARTIST TOTALLY COPIED THAT LINE. Oh noes....

did he copyright the lyric?? no! taylor liked the lyric so much and she probably thought it fit so well in her context that she used it. but damn him to hell for reacting like that! its a damn lyric for crying out loud!
songs have been having similar/same line(s) for so long its not something to be called a steal!

well, he just lost a fan in taylor!!

copyright on intellectual property is automatic, regardless of whether it's registered or not. BUT, there's also a "fair use" provision. since only a few words match not a single **** should be given. matt's reaching

It's just ONE line though. Not like it's the whole song.

There's no proof she ever heard the song though.

Please learn how to properly use capitol letters.

As if feather was the one that wrote up the quote. Please learn some manners. Also, it's "capital."

And the line is a bit too wordy for it to have been just a coincidence. It could have been just a homage or could have been done with some other intent. We'll never know, but it definitely isn't a coincidence.

Taylor saw a good lyric wasted on a terrible song by some peasant and put it in one of the best songs of 2012 where it belonged.

Taylor her generosity.

Nothing wrong with liking a verse and using it in an own song.

I'm just showing them how they're acting.
I'm basically saying this is pointless.

[iStanGaga]

Interesting.

His tweet tho.

[Taylor Swift]

But I wrote the lyric. You have confirmation from myself. /end thread

[Lulu]

Oops

[Mr.Link]

Does she REALLY need to steal a song though? She wrote the whole Speak Now album by herself...
It's not like that one line means anything...

[paulyyyozd]

God, that's only one line .

[Will_]

Disgusting.

Hope King Matt sues her.

[CountryFriedChick]

So taking one line is plagiarism? The song is 5 minutes long do you really think this guy deserves royalties for one line in a song? Do you think all artists who sing about going to the clubs should pay royalties to other artists who's songs have some parts or even just one that is lyrically similar? The same can be said about break-up songs and love songs, etc. All songs have some parts that are similar to other songs. I remember when Lady A was accused of plagiarism for Need You Now or what about Brit for Hold it Against me?

[Mons†erMuscle™]

I'm so disappointed.
