JPF Home Page Forums International Chapter Message Boards Philippines Chapter Message Board Did Jim Brickman plagiarize a Filipino Song?

Actually there would be no Phillipines board if not for Lynman. He was the first and only person to ask for one to be set up. The moderator function is simply a technical one, it's not political nor does it offer any real power. Volunteers who step up and offer are welcome to become moderators in any city they want as long as they stay involved. He's done that. And he's been quite involved in many other areas of the board that are much more active. You guys are welcome to do the same. But your obvious hatred of Lynman has been duly noted and no one benefits from you beating the very dead horse. I was involved in the discussion at the time it happened and it was acknowledged that the musical riff at the start of the song was the same. Big deal. It was acknowledged and there was no legal violation nor was any harm done to anyone. If you write and record a lot, odds are that you will eventually use a riff someone else has used. If you discover it or are made aware of it, then you change it and move on. I haven't seen any example of him not moving on. What I have seen, however, is a vendetta from you and now your friend Darius to continue to attack someone who is well liked in our community. He's given far more than he's taken and that's as much as we can ask. Lynman is not going anywhere, especially when the request comes from someone who's acting like a school yard bully. Enough. It's tiring and I have far more important things to with my time than monitor the school yard. Move on to other things. If you can't handle being on this site at the same time as Lynman, then go elsewhere. To his credit, he has never asked that either of you be removed from the site even though you continue to attack him.
