Can't watch your video (at work), but I have to question: 1) what made your 'acoustic version' so unique? 2) did you pay for the rights to record/distribute the song?

OMG Dude. its somebody else's song. not yours....just give it up and move on. Great minds come up with their own songs and their own lyrics!

I was on a Sony/BMG label for 8 years and do think that record labels are evil. Stealing from the poor star-struck musicians to make themselves rich.

the rest of that post is subjective.

I thought this was about the Sony hack by anonymous. :lol:

Write a song about this and move on. :roll:

Certainly most labels are evil most of the time, this is just a lousy example.

Arpeggio riff on the opening chord? I know at least 100 guitarists who might choose this including me. :mrgreen:

If the acoustic version guy paid for permission to adapt the original and copyrighted his version before he posted on youtube, he "might" have a case. As is, it's just another case of similar ideas in the public domain with no rights to the work. Lesson learned.
