Two frauds - Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell of
"American Idol"
The rigged TV talent show, "American Idol" has been
caught stealing again. Previously, the Judiciary Report covered how
Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell stole the idea for the show from a Texas
man that pitch it to them in their office. Then, a year later, they put
the show out without payment or credit to him, reaping a fortune in ill-gotten gain.
Then, there's the
Simon Fuller/Simon Cowell/Sony
thefts of copyrighted songs and videos, from my
preexisting Copyrighted Catalog, with the knowledge and consent
of their untalented, degenerate artists on 19 Records (Sony) and Syco
(Sony), who took
co-writers credit for songs they did not write, that were already
sitting in the Copyright Office in Washington DC, registered to me,
years before they stole them, via proven computer
hacking.
There's something else I wrote about in an unpublished
copyright two years ago as well, regarding "American Idol." Even Simon Cowell's on-air shtick, replete with specific
styled barbs, are a little too similar to ones my dad has employed
for over 20-years on his award winning radio show in Jamaica called
"Rhythms" - that's broadcasted all over the world as well, via
the internet.
My dad gets calls to the station from Britain, Canada, America, Germany and
other nations, with song requests and compliments on his show. Over the
years, my dad has famously gotten into on-air disputes with famous
artists, whose talents he's questioned during his show, using cutting
commentary, very similar to what Simon Cowell does now.
However, my dad's been doing this on his show and
others, for over 20-years, as one of
the world's foremost musicologists, which predates "American Idol"
by over a decade. In
light of the fact "American Idol" and its spin off "X-Factor"
whose music is released by Sony, have
infringed so many of my preexisting copyrighted songs, without
permission and the fact my dad previously participated in a legal settlement
regarding Sony's infringement of a copyright owned by the late legendary
producer Clement "Coxsonne" Dodd, prior to "American Idol"
even going on the
air, I have to wonder about Cowell regarding his created persona for the
show and what inspired it. Prior to "American Idol" Cowell was an A&R
guy in Britain, who was nothing like this animated, cutting character we
now see on TV.
2010
"American Idol" contestant
General Larry Platt's
"Pants on the Ground":
1996 Green Brothers song "Back Pockets On The
Floor":
Today, a new "American Idol" scandal erupted, regarding
this year's latest craze by contestant, General Larry Platt and his
so-called song "Pants on the Ground." It turns out "American Idol" and Larry Platt stole the
song from a Detroit, Michigan duo called The Green Brothers, who
released a song in 1996 titled
"Back Pockets on the Floor."
That's 14 years prior to "American Idol" and it's rip-off
"Pants on the Ground."
Even the song titles sound alike and mean the same thing
"
Pants
on the
Ground" and
"Pockets
on the
Floor." The words
"Ground" and "Floor" basically mean the same thing.
Not to mention the artist names "The General
Larry Platt" and "The Green
Brothers" led by Gerald
Green. You can make the word "Green" out of the word "General."
Furthermore, isn't it odd and sinister how terrible actor, Simon
Cowell, proclaimed during
General Larry Platt's performance,
"I have a horrible feeling that
song could be a hit." Tell the truth Simon, you did your usual,
disgraceful, illegal practice of scouring the internet and record stores
for songs to steal.
What's eerie is how much the Green Brothers' lead singer,
Gerald Green,
looks like General Larry Platt and they are about the same age as well.
There's a strong resemblance there.
In writing this article, I thought one was the other. And no, I do not
think "All black people look alike" as the insulting racial phrase
implies, as I too am black.

(right) - both are older gentlemen with graying hair and graying mustaches, wearing a black cap and black shirt
Considering "American Idol" has been busted numerous
times rigging their show's results and stealing music for the subsequent
CDs by artists who win on the show, such as Carrie Underwood and Kelly
Clarkson, I believe the two Simons heard the preexisting Green Brothers
track, liked it and decided to get a look alike, General Larry Platt, to
come to the show and sing a plagiarized version of it, with the hope of
making it hit.
Even Platt is complaining that "American Idol" has made
merchandising items using the song and he hasn't gotten his financial
cut.
The whole thing looks like a set up.
"American Idol" also infringes the copyrights of well
known hits. For example,
the 2009 American Idol song by David Cook "Time Of My Life" bears similarities
to
the 1980's song "Time Of My Life" from the movie "Dirty Dancing."
The 2009 song "Battlefield" by "American Idol" Jordan
Sparks is a rip-off of Pat Benetar's 1980's track "Love is a
Battlefield." Parts of
Sparks' 2009
song even sounds like the 1980's hit "Girlfriend" by Pebbles.
The 2009 song "Live Like We're Dying" by current "American Idol" winner
Chris Allen is a rip-off of the 1994 Tim McGraw country hit "Live Like You
Were Dying."
Everything about "American Idol" is fake and stolen. Wake
up world, you've been had.

'Pants on the Ground' -- A Rip-Off?!
Posted Jan 27th 2010 8:10AM - "General" Larry Platt isn't the first
person to sing about crooked hats and droopy pants -- and now a Michigan
hip-hop duo is saying "Pants on the Ground" is a "take off" of a song
they recorded back in 1996.
The Green Brothers -- a rap group consisting of an elderly Platt-alike
gentleman -- re-posted the music video for their song "Back Pockets on
the Floor" this week -- and you're gonna be shocked at the similarity.
The group claims their lift-up-your-pants jam has "the same intent, idea
and in part the same message" as the "American Idol"
wannabeen's...
Detroit-area Brothers Record 'Back Pockets on the Floor'
Recorded in '96, the message is similar to 'Pants'

American Idol may have launched the "Pants on the Ground" craze, but the
message looks likes it's been around for awhile.
Highland Park's Green Brothers wrote FOX 2 to inform us of their 1996
recording "Back Pockets on the Floor." The brothers tell us the song has
the same intent, idea and message of the General Larry Platt's 'Pants'
version. Gerald Green says they wish Platt well, but want the world to
hear and see their version of the song.
