Beyonce stealing from European pop singer Kerli
brought on the latest scandal about her unlawful stealing of other
artists' protected works
Thieving Sony Music singer, Beyonce, has been slammed and exposed by
the music industry's top magazine, Billboard, for stealing other
artists copyrighted music, videos and images, in a subtle op-ed piece.
Beyonce is known and mocked all over the internet for being a thief,
who insists on stealing from others in failed attempts at unlawfully
making herself look like an artist who does it all.
Copyright infringement is a crime under U.S. and U.N. laws. Stop for
a moment and think about that. When you steal copyrighted works, you
are a criminal under domestic and international law (not to mention a
fraud and a phony). When you steal someone's copyrights, it is the
equivalent of stealing a mansion or luxury car, due to the value of
intellectual property.
Shamefully, this happens often in the music industry, especially
regarding certain mainstream artists in Hollywood cults such as
Kabbalah, who call themselves the Illuminati. Leaked documents have
shown, when they see or hear something they like, they simply take it,
in criminal violation of the law, as copyright infringement is a
federal crime. To applaud Beyonce or any other artist engaging in this
felony, is the equivalent of praising a bank robber, burglar or ponzi
schemer like Bernard Madoff.
Beyonce's husband Jay-Z has been sued by many
people in unrelated cases for theft of copyright, trademark and money
The FBI, under Robert S. Mueller, has failed in their congressional
mandate in this regard, operating under the corrupt premise stars are
allowed to break the law, which is disgraceful and an embarrassment.
These thefts are damaging America's bottom line, as these stolen
copyrights are executed incorrectly and devalued in the process,
bringing in lower revenues and tax dollars.
Having been a victim of copyright infringement at Beyonce and
Jay-Z's hands (see items listed below), the Judiciary Report has
covered Beyonce's many thefts in past articles, which were subsequently
read by millions online. A noticeable and significant sales decline
began for both aforementioned artists shortly after, as no one in good
conscience could support such thievery, dishonesty and fraud.
This week it is Billboard's turn, as the industry's most prominent publication
details some of Beyonce's most brazen and disgraceful thefts,
completely calling her artistry or lack thereof into question (see
article below).

Op-Ed: When Beyonce's Inspiration Turns Into
Imitation
May 01, 2013 11:48 AM EDT - They say imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery, but what if the person imitating is a polarizing icon that
should be doing otherwise -- someone like Beyoncé? On Monday (April
29), pop singer Kerli posted a side-by-side photo on her Facebook page
of her and Beyoncé donning the same Amato Haute Couture dress. The
photo of Beyoncé comes from the pages of her 2013 "Mrs. Carter
Show" tour book.
Except, it's not just the Furne One designed dress -- which also
Nicki Minaj wore in her "Va Va Voom" video -- that's similar
in the photo. Both singers can be seen painted in white, from head to
toe, and stylistically posed as sculptures. No one owns a look, image,
dance move (after all, how many artists have pulled out signature
Michael Jackson moves?), or in this case, an experimental costume.
They're not copyrighted property, but filed as intellectual property.
Any artist, including Beyoncé, can wear whatever another artist
wore, but that multiplicity gets suspicious and easily pegged as
stealing. And understandably so, when it's not only the look of the
artist that is being traced, but his or her entire idea.
Beyoncé first caught flak for working up a dance similar to
Josephine's Baker's iconic banana dance in her "Deja Vu"
video, then was seen sporting a skirt with dangling bananas when
performing the "B'Day" track. But let's be honest: that
wasn't that serious, at least not at that point in her 20-year plus
career. She later borrowed from Bob Fosse's routine, "Mexican
Breakfast," in the video for her girls anthem, "Single Ladies
(Put a Ring On It)." There are also references to "Rich Man's
Frug" scene (of Bob Fosse's "Sweet Charity") in Bey's
"Get Me Bodied" video.
There's a difference between inspiration and imitation.
"Countdown" is a good example of Beyoncé doing both in one
piece of work. She references Audrey Hepburn's "Funny Face"
dancing and both Hepburn and Peggy Moffitt's late 50's/early 60's
fashion, then elaborates with color schemes and pairs the choreography
perfectly with the pace of the soundscapes. She also samples Boyz II
Men's countdown from their song, "Uhh Ahh."
As the video continues, we see Bey' using the same choreography,
cinematography and costumes that Belgian choreographer and dancer, Anne
Teresa De Keersmaeker, used in "Rosas Danst Rosas." It's one
thing to be inspired by someone else's work and revamp with one's
personal style, but it's another to duplicate exact movements, which is
ultimately violating the artist's intellectual property. Context
matters.
Before the debut of "Countdown," Beyonce was criticized
for nearly replicating Italian singer Lorella Cuccarini's live
performance with her performance of "Run the World (Girls)"
at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. She later stated that she had hired
the same choreographers that had worked on Cucarini's performance, but
it's still puzzling as to why she didn't work with them to create a
groundbreaking concept of her own.
The choreography, seen in the performance and the song's
accompanying music video, comes from Mozambigue dance troupe Tofo Tofo.
Instead of thanking them for the inspiration after the fact, as she's
done with Cuccarini and Keersmaeker, Beyoncé brought them to the U.S.
and hired them to dance alongside her in the "Run the World
(Girls)" video.
The 2011 song, off her fourth studio album "4" swipes the
beat from Major Lazer's 2009 "Pon De Floor." According to
Diplo, one half of Major Lazer, the making of "Run the World
(Girls)" started out as a "joke" (whatever that means).
Beyoncé's "1 + 1" video features scenes similar to the
unfinished French film, "Le'Enfer," while her "Love On
Top" video has dancing scenes much the same as those in New
Edition's "If It Isn't Love" video...
ADDITIONAL BEYONCE THEFTS AS LISTED BY THE JUDICIARY
REPORT:
Beyonce 2011 (left) and Lorella Cuccarini 2010 (right)
Thieving Sony singer, Beyonce, has been stealing from other artists
again, in a nasty habit that has made her the recipient of a number of
copyright infringement lawsuits. Her career has solely been based on
copyright theft, which is a federal and international crime.
This time Beyonce stole in great detail, the preexisting video
performance of European pop artist, Lorella Cuccarini, for her appearance
on the Billboard Music Awards show last week. She's being slammed all over
the internet for it.
Beyonce performed
the
infringing song "Run The World Girls" which has flopped
on the charts and paired it with a scene by scene rip-off of Cuccarini's
performance from last year that was televised in Europe.
Internet users are slamming Beyonce for this unoriginality. This week
Beyonce also premiered a new song entitled "1+1" which is already
being panned by people online. Ironically, Beyonce's "1+1" is a
dead rip off of the 1960's song "Wonderful World" by my dad's
favorite singer, Sam Cooke, who he plays often on his radio show.
Sam Cooke
My dad played "Wonderful World" so many times in the
house and car, while I was growing up, when I heard the Beyonce song, I
instantly recognized the infringement. A few of the copyright infringing lyrics are:
Sam: but I do know one and one is two
Beyonce: but I know one plus one equals two
Sam: don't know much about algebra
Beyonce: I don't know much about algebra
Sam: don't know much about the French I took
Beyonce: I don't know much about fighting
Sam: what a wonderful world this could be
Beyonce: when the world's at war
En Vogue
Beyonce's "1+1" is also a rip off in certain parts, of the
1991 En Vogue hit "Don't Go." It's clear she slapped the two
songs together ("Wonderful World" and "Don't Go").
There are melodic infringements and lyrical ones as well:
En Vogue: don't go
Beyonce: don't let me go
En Vogue: let's make sweet love
Beyonce: make love to me
En Vogue: I won't put up any fight
Beyonce: I will fight for you
En Vogue: lay me down
Beyonce: I'm laying right next to you
En Vogue: Our love's been growing freely
Beyonce: our love will heal us all
En Vogue: it's out of my hands
Beyonce: when I ball up my fist
En Vogue: body next to mine
Beyonce: laying next to you
BEYONCE'S OBSESSION WITH RIPPING OFF VANESSA WILLIAMS'
MUSIC CAREER:

| Vanessa in 1991 |
Beyonce in 2008 |
Vanessa Williams took the photo posted above on the
left in 1991 for her "Running Back To You" single. In 2008,
Beyonce ripped it off. Note the similarities:
1. Vanessa Williams
is wearing a black leotard covered
by a black jacket. Beyonce is wearing a black
leotard.
2. Vanessa Williams
is wearing black paten leather ankle high boots
and Beyonce is also wearing
black paten leather ankle high boots
.
3. Vanessa Williams has the
front of her hair upswept with blonde highlights at the top while the
back is flowing over her shoulders. Beyonce has
the front of her hair upswept with blonde
highlights at the top while the back is flowing over her shoulders.
4. Another sick note to add, Vanessa Williams has a
daughter named Sasha. Beyonce
adopted an alter ego named Sasha
Fierce (more like Sasha Stupid ripping everybody off).
