mimisail Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hi guys! Some fellow Swedish musers discovered that an (unknown) band called "I are droid" uses artwork which is, to a very large extent, the same as the exogenesis artwork and the resistance artwork. Here is their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/iaredroid They claim it's a coincidence, but seriously, there are just too many details which are the same, so I doubt it is. The people in the band have been listening to Muse before, although they claim to have stopped doing it when muse started to make "mock-opera" music (that how they put it at least). And I don't think one could refer to black holes or any album before that as really "operatic", but the resistance might be (I think). So they have most probably seen the artwork (the band still claims the guy who designed it, Kilian Eng, has NEVER seen the artwork of The Resistance). The band is not famous or anything, however plagiarism is wrong no matter who does it. What is your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well yes, it's quite clear. Still a nice artwork though. Speaking of plagiarism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty987 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Speaking of plagiarism Thats a great one Fabri. And yes i think it's pretty clear the similarities in that artwork. I don't understand why anyone would copy something put out by one of the biggest bands and biggest labels in the world. Everybody is going to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29pearls Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Speaking of plagiarism Absolutely plagiarizing Bliss, but I quite liked it, sort of a more current version of Bliss melody. But then I kept waiting for Matt to start singing As for the artwork, yes, heavily 'inspired' by The Resistance & Exo artwork. Speaking of plagiarism, whatever happened to that sad fellow from Texas who sued Muse a few months ago, claiming the whole Exogenesis idea was his? The kicker in his argument-- he also claimed to have shown Muse the TR artwork! Sure, buddy- guess he'll have to sue 'I are droid' too then!

mimisail Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well yes, it's quite clear. Still a nice artwork though. Speaking of plagiarism no wonder why people find it amazing: it's muse! I like the remix though wish he would give some credit to muse I've tried to contact the guy who "designed" the artwork for I are droid. I'll try to spam muse and Tom on twitter as well, it might get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like it at all, it sounds like a mashup of a Bliss piano cover and a Bliss 8-bit version with dubstep beats no wonder why people find it amazing: it's muse! I like the remix though wish he would give some credit to muse I've tried to contact the guy who "designed" the artwork for I are droid. I'll try to spam muse and Tom on twitter as well, it might get through I don't think they would care that much, this band is quite small isn't it?

altbecky Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I doubt Muse would care. Their record label on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well yes, it's quite clear. Still a nice artwork though. Speaking of plagiarism I still love this one. I go back and forth between this slightly different riff and New Born's when I play it now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWuqoQVQvas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that-girl-over-there Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Maybe an artist on the board should design a new cover for them and use it as a peace offering so they can use the new artwork and the whole case can be dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumpypotato Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Cool artowrk, but the thing is, denying the OBVIOUS plagiarism makes them look like cocks. If they just admitted it most people wouldn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Cool artowrk, but the thing is, denying the OBVIOUS plagiarism makes them look like cocks. If they just admitted it most people wouldn't care. They probably denied it 'cause they stopped listening to muse when 'muse started to make "mock-opera" music', whatever that means. In other words they're shy to admit they're influenced by Muse, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'd imagine that they'd be more embarrassed about the plagiarism though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimisail Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 That's exactly what makes me angry, not only do they deny the plagiarism, but they also say that muse are shit basically (now that makes me always angry ) of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but seeing that they are copying muse's artwork, they are simply being hypocritical.
