for those who said I don't care..
Put yourself on the situation of the talented underground artist, probably not making money on their music, and then comes a group of thief and take over the entire crowd of urban outfitters / american apparel consumers, listening to this, they are growing by the minute...
I would be pissed too.
Is like one of your portfolio pieces got printed on a book by gestalten verlag, but instead of your name under it, it says
Design by logo king.think about that

Maybe this will bring more attention to the originators?
Look at what sampling in hip hop has done for all those one-hit wonders whose lives work had been shelved and forgotten... They're now sought after rarities...
Think all those samples have been cleared as well?

neue, I'm ALL FOR SAMPLING.
but there is a difference..stealing an entire track and singing over it, then call it your own, and even say you didn't steal it when you are called on it by people that don't drink pabst blue ribbon its different.
Go browse your old cds that have samples on it, they state : contains sample from blah blah blah.
Of course you can only do that when you get on a big label that has the push to clear your samples, but even so.. mention the artist or you are stealing.Think what would happen if you so one of your designs on logo kings website, and suddenly he got huge..
would you be ok with that?

From what I understand, they have gone on record and stated that they did borrow beats/samples/whatever from various chiptunes artists, and are actually releasing those songs as part of some chiptunes tribute album or something. Something I guess has been lost in the shuffle in the controversy...
Though I myself have yet to see this statement. A friend of mine read it on Pitchfork, which I don't go to.
As far as I can tell, not helping them is their management, who deflected all claims of theft instead of just addressing them in the beginning, which would have saved them a whole lot of trouble.
Anyhow, I wanted to check them out, so I went to their free show in Willamsburg. Was at some shitty club with a bunch of NYU drones till midnight, and they never showed. Instead we got this piece of crap act from Canada that was just horrible, so him plus the annoying crowd was why my friend and I split. They probably came on afterwards, but who cars at this point...
