Music! Music is life and it brings life to the lifeless. Music, which has to do with sounds and rhythm with beat as an embellishment has a lot to do when it comes to making the society to be a lively place to be, not only this, music also brings about emotion and its at the same time, brings healing to the wounded soul and gives inspiration to those that are down at heart. In short, music nourishes the soul, spirit and the body.
Now, let's talk about theft. The word theft, has to do with stealing and stealing is something that's bad and should not be encouraged at all. Stealing can be done in various context, such as, when someone steals money, jewelries or other luxuries of life. And when talking about stealing, there's always consequences after the act of stealing which can be sentence to jail or other means of punishment.
So, having discussed and known what the two words that made up this week afritunes prompt is all about. Let's now go into the details of what the two words means together. Music theft. The two words music and theft has to do with the stealing of other people's musical work. And this might be through the acts such as; musical plagiarism, musical copyright and so on.
Now, how do musical theft happens? Musical theft can happen in so many ways, part of which includes, using another person's song or melody without permission. Another way through which this can happen is through the use of the parts of someone else song without clearing the samples or obtaining permission and or performing or recording someone else's song without obtaining the necessary licenses.
So, all the point mentioned above are the ways through musical theft can happened with the first one talking about the usage of another person's song without permission.
There's some people that infringe on another person's song or musical work without the permission of the song writer. This is a very bad habit when it comes to the world of music and the damages this has caused cannot be talked about. This singular act if not checked can limit the creativity of those engaged in it and not only that, can even affect the originality of the song as being created or written by the original song writer.
Also, using part of someone else's song is an act of musical theft, some are fond of stealing part of another person's musical work without taking permission from the original song writer. Though they know it's not their own work, but because of their lack of creativity and laziness, what they do and know how to do best is to steal part of someone else's musical work and render the financial capacity of the original work useless. This act is unprofessional and could cause a lot of irreparable damage to the musical work in question and as well dent the image of the person who copyright the work.
Another way of musical theft is when there's cover version. This musical theft happens when someone performs or records someone else's song without obtaining the necessary permission and licenses. The consequences of this is that, such a song lost its credibility and the person in question can be sued legally by the original songwriter.
All these and many more has to do with the musical theft and its consequences. But for us all to avoid this musical theft of a thing. We must be diligent when it comes to our musical creativity, clear samples and obtain licenses and give credit where credit is due.
We should all remember that musical theft is bad and can have it consequences, so we must all endeavor to prioritize originality, creativity and must always have respect and regards for others musical work.
