BubberMiley Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think the first rule of stealing someone else's copyrighted work is to make it unrecognizable from the original. The CPC doesn't even seem to try in this case though. It seems the main difference is it isn't nearly as good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGXGwr3nr7g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Is Harper Plagiarizing Tim Pawlenty's Ad? They both look like a thousand other "movie trailer" style ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is stealing he is stealing from the formula that movie trailers, there is a clear cut formula for these things that is what this is. Here is the one for I am Legend and another one for Oceans. Can you believe Harper stole them? You do know when the Gov of MN put that out their were 1000 Internet articles talking about how it was a movie trailer right?

BubberMiley Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sorry. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not the same.....no moon shot....no black people. T-Pah's can't be that good anyway...Michelle Bachmann is beating him in the polls...even in Canada! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punked Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Sorry. Not even close. Considering the Gov's had shots of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the first moon landing, footage of historic figures like Martin Luther King and Muhammad Ali. I would say Harpers is not even close except for the fact they are both movie trailers. Talking pointsmemo has already covered that the Gov's trailer isn't anything new. So how about you take up with a Polk award winning news organization ok? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/01/tim-pawlenty-releases-action-movie-campaign-trailer-video.php Edited April 6, 2011 by punked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonam Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Yeah it does look similar in style. It's a good ad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could, most of the Hollywood studios would have been sued out of existence fifty years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe that the hack who made the CPC video didn't see the Pawlenty video first? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Looks like the pro-Iggy supporters are getting pretty desperate. If you're saying that many political ads are cookie-cutter type fluff, then yes, I guess it's similar. If you're saying that Harper's plagarizing Pawlenty, then that's a pretty far reach. Sorry Bubber, you're thread is a flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Did they copy the style of the ad? Yes....so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punked Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Do you honestly believe that the hack who made the CPC video didn't see the Pawlenty video first? Really? I am sure he saw a movie trailer before then in the summer when there was all the buzz about the Govs new add he saw that to and said "This is a great idea." However I don't get mad when the NDP tries to copy Obama's on-line campaign. I don't get mad when Iggy steals his quips from former US Presidential campaigns why would I get mad now? Seriously? BTW Iggy steals a lot from former Presidential campaigns so I hope you start a thread about that one. Edited April 6, 2011 by punked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadBrother Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Did they copy the style of the ad? Yes....so? This is the part of elections I really hate, where everyone tries to put everyone else under microscopes and end up making the most pathetic and idiotic claims. It isn't plagiarism, people, and even if it was, it would probably be viewed as a spoof, and those are generally protected under copyright law. Now, can we have a serious topic?

I haven't seen anything along these lines I think they are all excited about the editing technique, which was not invented by any political candidate, American or Canadian.
