Slyder - Score (Original Mix) [2000] (starting from 3:41)
As a producer, every morning I wake up with the fear of seeing
@Uplifted 's exposing me one day to have ripped/copied/stolen any 90s track without even me realising that.


As far as I know many tracks from early or late 90s, I didn't know this tune, for example, dated back to year 2000; therefore, it would have really been a coincidence if I would have made a track sounding like that. I'm not defending or taking the part of anyone in here, of course, just saying that sometimes you may just not know that the melody you got in your head might be already "used" and no DAW will warn you about the melody midi matching with an existing tune (it would be an amazing new feature though!

)
Obviously, this does not apply if you explicitly rip the melody of a very well-known trance classic tune (like the previously discussed Urban Shakedown or Symsonic) or of a trance tune everyone would still recognise by its riff: that surely is not acceptable and I am puzzled to see how many label owners do not care or do not know (more rare) about such Trance music gems we had in the past decades.
