Under Pressure and Ice Ice Baby are stuck in my head. The fact that he settled a large settlement out of court shows he knew he was in the wrong and admits guilt to me.Ĭopy infringement is stealing someone’s original creative idea and using it without consent to do so.ģ. It is just too similar to claim as his own. I feel in court Vanilla Ice would have lost. After listening to the opening view seconds it is evident that both have the same beat line. In examining the content of the song one would have to find that both were very similar. November 22nd, 2011 at 3:13 pm Log in to Replyġ.

It is not okay to steal a song from another person because that would be very unoriginal so I think he should have had punishments for this. For that very reason, he was guilty because it was like he had admitted that he stole the beat of that song.

What do you think the result would have been if the case went to court?Īre the songs Under Pressure or Ice Ice Baby now stuck in your head?Ĥ thoughts on “ Vanilla Ice Under Pressure” “Ice Ice Baby” has been released in many different versions, since then, with all of the legal procedures followed. He settled out of court with Queen and David Bowie for an undisclosed but very likely very high amount. This case never went to court as it was clear that Vanilla Ice had stolen the sample without permission. Queen and David Bowie sued the signer for sampling the beat to the song without permission or a license. In 1990, Vanilla Ice released his hit single “Ice Ice Baby” the beat the song was the same as “Under Pressure”. The song reached number one on UK music charts. In 1981, Queen and David Bowie released the song “Under Pressure”. So what happens when you come under attack for copyright infringement? You really like the beat! So you use the beat and write an original song without the consent of the original songwriters. You are a song writer and you hear a song on the radio.
