Nastee Samplin’: Stealing from chip artists.

May 15, 2008 on 1:58 pm | In Music Industry News |

Over on the 8-bit people’s site, word is that:

Crystal Castles, a Toronto-based band, has been heavily sampling music from several chip music artists without obtaining permission or crediting them.

Artist’s like Lo-bat have been affected. This is not the first case of this sort of thing happening, I think I remember and incident with a hip hop artist. Ouch? Or who cares? YOU DECIDE. Actually you don’t get to decide. Creative Commons sucks so do whatever you want.

  1. The article fails to mention that the track is an unreleased demo from 4 years ago which has never been released because of the sample.

  2. Shut up Andy for fucks sake. Get help. DO SOMETHING about your thievery and asshole behaviour.
