		<description>I don’t think it would be “stealing” per se, because when something gets “stolen” (in the technical sense of the word), it transfers hands from one person to another. In this case, you could say that “Turn Me Up” got “shafted” – because the new song closely resembles it, but it did not actually take anything away from Turn Me Up.

However, I do see how one COULD actually argue that this is still stealing. It might not be stealing in the sense of the material composition of the song (as I’m sure, Turn Me Up is in the possession of dozens of people – so it would be nigh impossible to get back all of those copies of your music, let alone all of the digital copies out there! [What I&#039;m saying is that there will always be at least one copy of Turn Me Up floating around out there somewhere, so you could never recall them all and change their current material composition]), but it could be considered stealing in the sense of glamor and fame. A song of like-nature could quite possibly steal or “borrow” fame off of that original song by association.

Now, while on the subject of stealing, some people argue that downloading music illegally isn’t stealing. Bull-honky. Sure, they aren’t “stealing” anything physically, but they’re depriving those artists/labels of their well-deserved money when they take those songs – which in turn is stealing. Case closed.</description>

		<description>The &quot;Riffs with Drums&quot; is preferable over &quot;Full Mix&quot;.  &quot;Full Mix&quot; was too closely reminiscent of &quot;Turn Me Up&quot;.</description>
