if i published a song by the same name as another song but with completley different lyrics can i get sued?

Answer 1

No. You can't, there are a lot of songs that have the same names, but diffrent lyrics.

Answer 2

No, having the same title is not plagiarism.

What you really have to be cautious about is having a very similar melody. George Harrison of the Beatles was sued because his song "My Sweet Lord" had pretty much the same melody as an older song "He's So Fine." The words and title were totally different.

Answer 3

No, song names aren't copyrighted, just the lyrics. In fact, there was once a time when two songs with the same name were in the "Top Ten". The name of the songs was "Jump" & the artists were Van Halen & The Poiter Sisters respectively.

Answer 4

i individually believe that "have not Met You yet" by Michael Buble and "Love music" by Sara Barallies have the precise same track, i like them the two, yet I SWEAR, they sound in simple terms approximately precisely a similar. BQ3: humorous you asked, i've got theory that for as long as i can keep in mind and by no ability gotten an answer.
