Plagiarism is just theft, it is the worst form of theft where a person takes another person's intellectual property/ideas and tries to pass them off as their own, making In other words, it is simply about deceiving yourself and others. Plagiarism occurs in many fields such as writing, technology, theater production, architecture and many more… But in this essay we are going to focus on plagiarism in music, especially that in the Arab world, people are still unaware of this type of plagiarism, and There is no effective law that protects musicians from plagiarism. So how can a musician “quote” or use a musical part without plagiarizing it, and which cultures are notorious for plagiarism? To answer the first part of the question, musicians can indeed use music produced by others without falling into the trap of plagiarism, this happens through “SAMPLING”. SamplingThis is when a musician takes part of a sound record and reuses it as a sound record or instrument in a different piece. After 1980, the act of sampling was organized under laws and regulations according to which the musician must obtain permission or purchase the rights to the piece from the original composer. On the other hand, plagiarism occurs when the musician uses the recording and claims that it is their own original work. Although in most industrialized countries, musical plagiarism is illegal, there is one exception, and that is in the jazz genre; Jazz musicians, especially when improvising pieces of music, are not accused of plagiarism if it happens, because it is not intentional. Additionally, some Arab legends have been wrongly accused of plagiarism during improvised live performances, such as Mohammad Abed AL-Wahab. Most people accuse contemporary musicians of plagiarism and acc...... middle of paper ......ies, the government or politicians. Proof as well as in Lebanon and unfortunately there are no laws protecting music. Additionally, many Lebanese singers have adopted a tradition of stealing Turkish music and one of these singers none other than Wael Kfoury whose most of his songs are based on the music of the Turkish singer Ibrahim Tatlises, one of the songs was “Tabki Al Touyour 2006” and was based on “Selam Olsun 1999”. Ruby is another Arab singer who stole music. His song "Michit Wara E7sasy" is taken from the Turkish song "Ezel" performed by Kim Zerar. Finally, like other creative works, music is protected by copyright laws in many countries as well as by the international community. Berne Convention: international agreement governing copyright in artistic and literary works, 1886, but the question arises when is it time to fully implement these laws in the Arab world ?
