If you see a movie for the first time and swear you've heard the score before, it may not be your imagination...
Last month, the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (Afm) sued six major studios for reusing film soundtracks in other films without paying the appropriate compensation. It's the kind of news that will make people roll their eyes. Ah yes, they'll say after seeing the headlines. Typical Hollywood. Not even the music's original any more.
But go beyond the headlines about reusing the same music too much and delve into the lawsuit and it reveals an interesting insight into the kind of situations where music does get repeated.
The lawsuit, it soon becomes evident, isn't about the use of music in itself (a quick browse through the soundtracks for the titles in question, such as This Means War or Argo, reveals that they have...

Lauren Platt's brother Lewis auditions for Britain's Got Talent this weekend - and you can watch a sneak peek of his try-out right here.
Lewis - who appeared on stage with his big sister on The X Factor - auditions for the Bgt judges as part of the dance troupe Entity.
The Essex-based group, made up of 20 members aged from 10-15, try to make it into the next round of the competition by performing to Bgt's famously dramatic music 'Lux Aeterna' and 'Uptown Funk'.
But will their flips, breakdancing and choreography be enough to convince the judges to put them through?
Elsewhere this weekend, 29-year-old former policeman Aaron Carty surprises the judges with his drag act.
His tribute to Beyoncé - complete with backing dancers and lip syncing - gets the crowd on side, but will the judges feel the same way?
And Aaron's not the only unusual act,...

Controversial composer Alfred Schnittke was born November 24, 1934 in the Soviet Union's Volga Republic, an ethnic German enclave. In his mid-thirties he pioneered a broadly eclectic style of composing that drew on many classical styles (even sometimes quoting familiar Beethoven or Bach works, among others) as well as the occasional foray into jazz and pop. By 1972 his experimentalism had earned the disapproval of the Soviet Composers Union (the Soviets also weren't enamored of his occasional expressions of religion, for that matter), but a number of esteemed musicians who had left Russia to live in the West supported his work and brought him an international reputation. His work was basically pessimistic in outlook, but its emotional impact, and the accessibility of some of the styles he drew on, nonetheless seduced many listeners.
The contradictions in Schnittke's style are laid out in his liner notes to the Bis recording of his Symphony No.
