Hamster on a Piano
Music from ParryGripp, who’s also the author of several musics mixed with funny/cute animals!
UPDATED: Unfortunately, the author of the original hamster video filled a lawsuit against Parry Gripp because he used the video to make the music, so it’s not a hamster anymore.
All Parry Gripp’s music are made that way… he states on his website that none of the videos are his, he only gets them searching YouTube around and composes for them as tribute.
So, the owner of the hamster video, instead of taking this as a funny tribute to his pet, labeled it as “stealing his video to exploit it commercially”, even when Parry Gripp always had published his music on YouTube and on his website for free.
The hamster video owner even go as far as calling the music “unbearable”, and calling Parry a parasite.
So I ask, who is the real parasite here? A musician that makes tribute musics and videos on cute animal he found on YouTube making them available for free or a jealous author of otherwise insipid video that decides to sue the musician who made a free tribute to his pet only to try and get some money from the whole case?

It’s because of people like him that I several times think that piracy works as a good thing.

Yeah, you can tell that Mr. Hamster on a Piano is just in it for the money and super big-headed, like Fred has unfortunately become.

Actually, the lawsuit was over the fact that Perry sold some of his music, and that his original video used ‘hamster on a piano’.
It should be fine if he’d released it for free – even then, I think the original artist deserves some credit – but if he’s using the video to make money in any way, it’s wrong.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinnion, and I see your point Scalene, but I still don’t agree…
His music is still free, even if he did make a CD compilation. It’s also available on his website, always was.
He didn’t remove the video from YouTube and put it on some payed content website. It’d still be there if it wasn’t for the lawsuit.
He didn’t even put ads on his videos at that time, and even if he did do that, I’d still disagree with the owner of the original video.
The video author acted solely on greed or envy. He would have done nothing like that (used the video to make a music video).
It’s not like he thought: “I did this video to earn some money and someone else is using it now to earn money from my work instead”.
He so obviously though “Hey, some guy used my video to get some money. I want part of that” it’s kinda painful.
Not only that, but in Parry’s website it’s made clear that none of the YouTube videos have original content.
It’s not that he was claiming any of those videos was his.
You can check some of his recent videos now, they all have links to the video sources.
Seeing as this isn’t a problem for Parry, I’m willing to bet the author of the original Hamster on a Piano video didn’t think a link was enough.
So it probably was much more a money thing, than giving credit.
Finally, if we are to expect that every author will be as greedy as the guy who sued Parry, we might as well say goodbye to all parody videos, all remixes, and just about everything who picks images and videos found on the Internet.
Starting with awesome stuff like Kutiman’s collages:

Which at least in my opinnion, would be a great loss.
All in all, we just have to think about the results on all this:
The Hamster on a Piano music clip lost a good part of it’s fun.
The original video author got nothing but the antipathy from some fans of the original videos.
He certainly didn’t use his video to make another music clip.
Maybe some occasional views due to the fame of Parry’s video.
Hope it was worth it.
