mikaaloverr Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hey everyone. First of all, I've not made this threat to accuse anyone of plagiarism, but to give you a heads up and to see what could be done. The following is a comparative image between the "Patito Feo" CD ("La Vida Es Una Fiesta" - 2008), which include the soundtracks of a popular Argentinean soap-opera made for teenagers and Mika's CD cover ("Life In Cartoon Motion" - 2007) (I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with it but just so you can see several similarities between both CD covers). And another one... (look at the piano and the arrows!) I just think they're waaay too similar. Is there any way we can let Mika know about this? Thanks Agus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlindee Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 OMG! Is this plagiarism? The drawings aren't copyrighted, are they? They look a bit too similar:shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I know!! I was soooo angry when I saw it at first!! I'm furious! It's a blatant rip off!! I hope Yasmine got all those extra bits copyrighted or SOMETHING. Good thing Mika reads this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CazGirl Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 OMG!Is this plagiarism? The drawings aren't copyrighted, are they? They look a bit too similar:shocked: when i saw the first pic (next to LiCM) I was like, yeah, the lines are similar...not angry though...scrolled down and saw the flowers and the circkles and i was like oh dear....and then I saw the last pic.....that was it for me!! Far too much similarity!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babspanky Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'm furious! It's a blatant rip off!! I hope Yasmine got all those extra bits copyrighted or SOMETHING. Good thing Mika reads this forum! Doesn't mean he will see this though. I suppose you could contact his record company and see if they want to look into it? Or ask the mods to pass it to Jerry for his perusal?

This OBVIOUS copying just isn't acceptable! (in my eyes anyway)....(and while fred's e-mailing jerry i suppose he could ask about....you know...while he's there....)

Niki27 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Before alerting Jerry or Mika's management , don't you think it would be wise to check what they say at the back of the DVD or sthg? Eventual credits to Jasmine, for example? I'm just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaeryana Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 oh my! my first impression was,so okay it was a little similar..but when i saw the 2nd one oh my,this is OBVIOUSLY STEALING! can't people just get their own ideas instead of robbing from others? hmmphh..

Wise head on your shoulders girl - I didn't think of that. I just saw the drawings and saw RED straight after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
