firstly, the whole “nothing is original” thing is a myth put about by unoriginal people.
it’s only really plagiarism if you take credit for something you didn’t do, surely? when it comes to what you can publish etc. that’s probably more to do with copyright and all rights reserved etc. basically, it’s not about you claiming originality, but simply not having permission to use the material. i don’t know much about it, but if i remember correctly most copyrights for music have something about public performance. i imagine posting on facebook would qualify as that.
but that’s just a logical mishmash of common sense and what i remember vaguely from wanting to use copyright material for a film i was making. i think most artists don’t give much of a fuck. but others are pricks. like “supertramp”. i posted “crime of the century” on youtube and my account got demonatised for like six months because they claimed copyright!!! fucking supertramp!!! i must have been the only person listening to them in the early 90s and this is how they repay me!!! wankers. but, still, absolutely brilliant track. Prince was notoriously unfindable on youtube and Dylan. basically anyone with a massive ego and shitty record company. it’s pleasing to note that there isn’t a smiths track out there that isn’t on youtube. well done.
