In the article Surprise
Hit Was a Shock for Artist Heard on it by James C McKinley Jr. it talks about
the man who made the hit song everyone is talking about all over and making
videos for. Harry Rodrigues is the one who made the song and is getting money for
it used other people’s voices in it without permission signed agreements or
anything he just used it, but probably never thought that he would be sued for
it. Now Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson are suing Rodrigues for it because he
didn’t give them anything out it or any credit. The Harlem Shake has been at
the top of the billboard 100pop chart for three weeks and sold about 800,000
digital downloads. That’s means he is making a good chunk of money and didn’t
give the two men anything. I think they feel like he could’ve at
least asked them for an approval or something, but to just take and use their
music they two men probably feel disrespected. Mr. Gomez the founder of Mad Decent says “Hector
will get what he deserves.” What he is saying is that they want what they
deserve they are saying they can just get lawyers and get them to stop the
broadcasting of the song because his voice is in it anyway. I think what he is
saying is he just wants his money otherwise they will just get the song stopped
completely. Is this the right thing to do? I think so because he should’ve got
consent from both men I don’t think Rodrigues was thinking at all.
Instead of asking, is this the right thing to do, tell us whether you believe this is the right thing to do. Do you think these artists are entitled to money? It's not like they made the song popular. Need more of parts 3 and 4 of the blog post format. 75
