plagiarism runs rampant in the music industry , i mean like the recent suing of cold play by Joe satriani{ if i could fly } , for what turns out to be a old cat Stevens song wrote in 1973 , led zep did it too, they just straight ripped off the old blues artists from America , i mean where dose it all end ? muddy waters said it best , it has all been done before so all you can do is put your own heart and soul into it ...
i went to Damiano's web page , i wanted to believe him , i read through all the court transcripts , but like the judge i see no proof he wrote anything with or for bob Dylan , it was just some petitions he filed claiming bob Dylan stole his songs , i will say if he had copyrighted his songs with the library of congress he wouldn't have to prove anything , so it's your own fault if you don't copyright even a co-written song or the music , cause if they are copy written there is no question to ownership ,
also too i could file a petition against you saying you stole my song but that doesn't make it true , i don't hear any similarities in writing style , anyhow if he wrote as many of bob Dylan's hit
songs as he is claiming , he shouldn't have any trouble writing a couple of hit songs for himself and ending his money woes , sorry James Damiano, i am a smart ass guitarist , i call it as i see it and i don't sugar coat a thing..
besides its a "5 dollar fine for whining "around here .
we are looking for a dedicated bassist , upright ,fret less , electric , multi-talented and singing preferred but not required.
