This goes back a little... to when exactly, I'm not sure. Honestly, her beliefs aren't exactly unfounded: It's the way things used to be, I suppose. Lemmings was a game that used classical music, for example, for many titles - until Lemmings 2: The Tribes, if I recall correctly. Old movies probably did, too. But nowadays, game makers and movie writers often hire composers to create new music, especially for that particular game or movie. We were watching (Well, she was watching - I was just looking at snippets every now and then.) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and at the end, she commented that the music sounded like it was taken from a known piece, a finale. I tried to explain to her the brain-numbing concept of originality, but she didn't believe me. Finally, I had to look up the soundtrack to HP-SC to prove to her that it was originally composed for the movie, and nothing had been taken from elsewhere (though only the composer knows what inspired him, really). Then I had to do another search, adding words such as finale, just to further prove it. Yeesh. I wonder sometimes just how much she's been left behind... ...or is lagging behind, whichever.
