Copyright infringement and earning money from stealing doesn't.
Also from what I can tell the people who wrote the songs for elvis, both black and white, were credited and payed for doing it.
No, it doesn't...and I'm tired of explaining to the usual suspects why no amount of claiming that it does and talking about silly shit is even remotely addressing the reality of cultural appropriation.
Well, as long as elvis's people payed one or two darkies, we're cool, right? Everyone's off the hook, then and now. Profiting from negroidal rhythms in the pre-civil rights era and Jim Crow south was totally kosher. What are those people™ complaining about?
