From the Archive - DiS does the Big Day Out
Work won't let me see that
What does it say plz?
Basically
They sampled a song by a guy called Lo-bat without permission and now the 8-bit community is up in arms.
^ this, yes.
not very cricket though is it?
I'm torn on this one
They haven't actually sold the song. It's on a second myspace of theirs.
Woops
They don't seem to be very good at using other people's ideas, selling them off as their own and getting away with it.
you could say
they're actively bad at it.
Well, didn't Timberlake/Timberland nick a noise from them?
They probably think that's how these things are done.
Possibly
The problem with 8-bit music is that there are only a limited amount of sounds you can get from it. It would probably be wrong of CC to claim credit for that one noise.
Lo-bat
had a very distinct sound he made in the WAV channel of the gameboy sound chip.
So there's no way CC could have arrived at the same noise independently?
Obviously they could have.
Not without a few people thinking "Hey this sounds like a Lo-bat song, hang on it has the same melody as well!"
I see ...
BURN THE PLAGIARISING HIPSTER BASTARDS!
*Grabs torch*
Nah
Its only limited by musical notes. So the melody had to be stolen too.
Timberlake used it first
I've read that there's controversy surrounding that sample a swell.
The sample was a preset arpeggio...
...from a particular synth, so no-one can claim it as their own artistic property.
P.S. It was 50 Cent featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland who produced it was who was being sued.
P.P.S. Sorry to be anal.
The names are so similar, my bad.
This is why I'm not a huge fan of presets.
My bad*
This is why I'm not a huge fan of presets.
WHY CAN'T YOU EDIT POSTS?
'the 8-bit community'
sounds like the place to be!
RHYME!
Holding a club membership card...
is a sure fire way to get into a girls pudding room.
they've basically
stolen segments of loads of artists music (in unreleased and released tracks) without informing any of them, stamping all over various copyright laws and making up some shit about a circuit bent atari in the process. Profiteering fucks.
