fade: I understand what you are saying here but I dont agree on one point; Its not "completley different". Ill try to "prove" it.
1) The "original" "Do it" (first verse) http://www.snoddas.nu/proof/doit_original.mp3
2) GRG c64 version. Pithed down a little to play in the same key as "Do it". Probably what Timbaland did aswell. (first verse) http://www.snoddas.nu/proof/Acid_Jazz_sid (bass+drums removed+pithed).mp3
3) Them both mixed together! http://www.snoddas.nu/proof/doit+acid_jazz_sid.mp3
This is not to just sample a beat or some sounds here and there. Its pure theft. Peace now? :-)
EDIT: I did NOT alter the bpm of the sid version just timestreched it to play in key. So the bmp was EXACT the same in both the cases. |

Depends on how much I love the one who insulted me. In you case I would love the person, I would probably start "whining", as Hollowman would say. In case of someone else I would probably turn to arrogant sarcastic bitch, but I must admit, that I'm arrogant sarcastic bitch most of the time anyway. ;-) |

What I really would like to know: Is there a "copy-protection" on Furtado's album? Can someone here enlighten me? It would be a too-good-to-be-true-joke :D |

I'm not saying he shouldn't be compensated, am I? I drag the crackscene into this, because we're all part of it. We all played/cracked games. This will be mentioned if Timbalake is smart enough to find out. It is a shameless rip-off, then again, this is the world we live in.
Besides, speaking of credits, can't remember Tempest gave credit to the original painter of his Disco demo picture. (The girl in white dress).
At least Burglar doesn't care he's a hypocrit, coz we all are over here.
Does the fact that we at some point used or played cracked software mean that we renaunce all our legal rights?.. Even though Tempest is or was part of a scene which legacy somehow is in the cracking scene, that doesn't mean that his intellectual rights have been compromized in this case, if you ask me. That said, I don't see the discussion about GRG's involvement. Credits maybe - therefore maybe Gramex (or what ever equivalent there is in Norway). Maybe he would get a portion for arrangement, but then again he didn't rearrange the original tune in his C64 conversion.. I don't know.. I just think that the point about the cracking/scene - at some point using illegal software is way over the top in this case. I'm not sure how this would be looked upon in a court of law - I'm not a lawyer. :) |

I don't think anyone understands what i am saying, my question was related to abusing copyrighted music in general, not the tempest/grg tune. Which is why i said "a copyrighted" as opposed to "creative commons licenced". I wanted an opinion and was going to lead onto some seriously debated issues such as resampling and the loss of copyright once resampled.
Which was why i sampled a well known mainstream tune.
I heard this Nelly Furtardo (who?) song today and i wouldnt want my name attached to it in any way shape or form.. |
