Background ng hinaing ni Gary Granada..

Kinumisyon ng GMA Kapuso Foundation si  Gary Granada para magcompose ng jingle para sa isang bagong kampanya base sa lyrics na furnished ng GMA... Ni revise ni Gary Granada ang lyrics  at sinubmit ang revised version nya for approval pero nareject..  Pero nung lumabas yung jingle.. obviously ginamit ng  GMA 7 yung ginawa ni Gary na wala man lang pasintabi at ang sabi pa ng GMA ay nagawa daw yung jingle through a collective work ng mga nasa GMA..


Nilabag ba ng GMA ang Intellectual Property Rights ni Gary Granada?   

Plagiarized ba or hindi? 


Share your thoughts please.

yung arrangement ni gary ay hindi kagandahan kaysa sa ginawa ng GMA

yung nirereklamo ni gary is kinopya ng GMA yung beat ng research nya

kase unique naman ang lyrics at magkaiba naman ng sound yung kay gary at GMA

tanong ko lang, narinig mo na ba yung parehong versions (melody and lyrics) ng jingle? kasi may judgment ka kaagad e.

wag mong sabihing paborito mong tv station ang GMA.. that may really cloud your judgment..

may point si gary dito... what he was trying to voiced-out here is that he arranged it according to GMA requirements plus he changed some lyrics para pumasok dun sa alloted timeframe nung jingle... yung bilang ng mga nota sa bawat frame ang pinagsikapang gawin ni gary dito which is kahit baguhin mo pa ng ilang milyong tono yung kanta eh pasok pa din dun sa frame...

kaya kung mapapansin mo eh kinanta ni gary yung jingle sa tono nung final commercial but sa saliw ng composed nyang mga nota... ang resulta eh pasok na pasok pa rin yung jingle... bakit kamo... kasi nga eh nabilang na ni gary ang bawat nota na papasok sa bawat frame and he already changed some of the lyrics to fit the requirement which is the same lyrics na ginamit ng GMA... ang ayaw lang ni gary eh yung ginawang tungtungan ng GMA yung arrangement nya matapos itong i-reject... sana man lang eh di na nila ibinigay yung arrangement ni gary dun sa bagong arranger.

gary is a gifter singer/composer... he knows the ins & outs of musics.. he will not do such things to gain financial or publicity advantage... did i mentioned also that he is a "Man of God"?

goodluck GARY... ipaglaban mo ang alam mong tama at wag mong hayaang yurakan ang pagkatao ng mga tulad nating maralita... MABUHAY ka GARY GRANADA... kasama mo ako sa iyong pakikibaka!

dinadaan na ng GMA sa legalidad at kung anu-ano pang detalye ang issue with Gary

latest GMA Network’s official statement sa complaint ni Gary Granada, from the network’s Vice President for Legal Affairs Dick B. Perez:

GMA Kapuso Foundation had nothing at all to do with the composition of the music or the writing of the lyrics.

Mr. Granada claims that the lyrics used for the plug is his version. We dispute that. GMA Marketing provided Mr. Granada the complete lyrics for the music he was supposed to compose. He changed a word in these lyrics. With due respect to Mr. Granada, that does not make the lyrics, under copyright law, his version or his work.

Certainly, Mr. Granada cannot claim sole authorship of the lyrics because he himself admits that GMA provided the lyrics and that he “rewrote” portions of it , which means that he admits as well the authorship of the lyrics by GMA Marketing.

Neither can he claim joint authorship of the lyrics. There is joint authorship when two requisites concur: (1) there must be an intention between the parties to be joint authors at the time the work was created, and (2) the contributions to the work of the party claiming to be a joint author must be independently copyrightable (see Erickson v. Trinity Theatre Inc, 13 F. 3d 1106[1994]).

It is clear that the first requisite is lacking. For a work to be considered a “joint work”, two or more persons must collaborate with the intent to create a unitary work. In this case, Mr. Granada was engaged by GMA Marketing to write the music to the lyrics that had already been completed by GMA. Neither GMA Marketing nor Mr. Granada intended to be joint authors of the lyrics.

The second requisite is also clearly absent. The changes to the GMA lyrics, whether all or some of them originated from Mr. Granada, are mere ideas, or refinements to it. In the case cited, it was held that ideas, refinements, and suggestions, standing alone, are not independently copyrightable.

As for the music which he now also claims was based on the musical structure he composed for the lyrics, we have called the attention of the composer to address Mr. Granada’s concern. It should be noted that GMA or its employees did not compose the music but engaged a professional composer to do so. “

no hindi ako dos or syete

I heard the music of Gary and sa GMA

as I said before hindi kagandahan yung arrangement ni gary kaysa sa colloborative ng GMA

pero kung pakikingan mo yung interview yung hinaing ni Gary  sa soundcloud makikita ito (6.0) ginawang stepping stone yung nilikha nya

Siguro ang fault ng GMA hindi binigyan ng pakunswelo si Gary or professional fee kaya galit syempre kahit na ako magagalit kung hindi ako bibigyan ng payment or baka kulang yung payment nya or bakit ang liit ng binayad sa akin at sila ang nakibang

budz.. hindi yung pera ang habol ni Gary dito... nung ma-reject yung arrangement nya eh wala naman syang natanggap na pera... and hindi sya nag-react nung ibigay sa iba yung chance na i-arrange uli yung jingle... nung binigay nya yung grievances nya sa asosasyon ng mga kompositor ay nakita nila na may foul talaga dun sa ginawa ng GMA... something to do with ethical aspects...

after mai-forward nila yung complaints ni Gary sa GMA eh medyo arrogant pa yung naging reply nila... na kesyo collective effort daw yung pagkakapalit ng mga lyrics... i firmly believe that they can't come up with that jingle without using Gary's Case Study of musical arrangement for that particular jingle... kahit sinong taong may inclination sa musika ay maniniwalang nilinlang ng GMA si Gary about the jingle... and he's not after the money or publicity as i mentioned earlier... it's for the respect that he's duly deserved.

peace budz!
