Is this music from Star Trek? Star Wars? Help!


Recommended Posts

Sorry loob but its definitely NOT Jurassic park. Very similar but just off enough so that the composer can claim it as an original score!
I know what you mean (probably the first 5 or 6 notes are identical, but not the rest), however it is still distinctive enough to have reminded me straight away of the Jurassic Park score (despite not having seen the film in years).

 

In terms of liability, the composer may claim whatever he wants about originality until he is blue in the face, but those first few notes would likely still be deemed to constitute a "substantial part" of the work (this is a legal test) and, therefore, constitute infringement.

 

There is ample precedent, even a case wherein a mere two notes were sufficient for a finding of infringement ;)
