※ [本文轉錄自 U2 看板] 作者: braveshsu (恐怖時代。) 看板: U2 標題: [新聞] U2新專輯封面被指控抄襲時間: Mon Jan 26 09:37:10 2009 http://ppt.cc/lod4 U2 album "rip-off" Posted Wed 21 Jan 2009 5:29PM GMT by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist US musician Taylor Deupree has alleged that the cover of U2’s forthcoming album is "an exact rip-off" of his own disc, ‘Specification. Fifteen’ The Irish rockers recently revealed the sleeve for "No Line On The Horizon", which is based on a photo by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. In a online posting under the headline "U2 Album Cover…Have I Seen This Before?", Deupree admitted there was little chance of legal action saying "In the end, we all know who wins". This isn’t the first time that accusations of plagiarism have been levelled at album covers and to prove the point, we’ve listed our favourite rip-offs below. Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley / The Clash - London Calling Few record covers can have been as influential as Elvis’s eponymous debut. We’ve counted over 20 albums that have featured strikingly similar imagery but the Clash’s seminal disc London Calling is undoubtedly the most famous. The Beatles - Abbey Rd / Tribute to the Beatles Reggae Style - Various Artists Well, what else would you expect from an album full of Beatles covers? Reggae legends John Holt, Ken Boothe and Phylis Dillon feature on this smashing Beatles tribute. X-Ray Spex - Germ Free Adolescents / Girls Aloud - Biology How could Girls Aloud have realised that they’d been beaten to the pinch by 70s punk band X-Ray Spex? Their debut album Germ Free Adolescents was released in 1978, preceding Girls Aloud’s Biology by 27 years. Dalbello - Whomanfoursays / David Lee Roth - Eat 'Em And Smile Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth was piped to the post by Canadian singer songwriter Dalbello who preceded his 1986 album by two years. We'll assume the similarities are accidental on this record though. Michael Jackson - Bad Weird Al Yankovic - Even Worse Someone had to do it and that someone turned out to be American pop parodist Weird Al Yankovic. Weird Al got into trouble a few years ago when he attempted to take off James Blunt. An injunction was issued by Blunt’s record label leaving Yankovic’s masterpiece You’re Pitiful sadly unreleased. -- 夏為了再聽一遍。宇我隨他走進一間打鑰匙和做鞋底的店。蒙我問他您剛才說什麼。馬他重複。特他知道重複可以讓我幸福。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.132.245 -- 好奇心殺死一隻貓， http://www.wretch.cc/blog/braveshsu。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.132.245
