For some reason I get the feeling you haven't seen this site: http://www.pelulamu.net/timbaland/

:)

Haha that was just fantastic. I want talent too!!

Great article, Chris. One funny little thing: ii) Maybe they thought they were re-using Timbaland's old work "Block Party", and forgot that work in itself contained infringements (this theory is given weight by the fact that the alterations to the bassline done for Block Party are the same...

Sick :/

But yeah, maybe they have an opening for a SID-composer? I mean, now that Timbaland has made SID's the new hot thang again ;)

A little bit off topic perhaps, but I really didn't think this was legal. I mean, at this site you can get around the clerance of samples by buying their services instead which are pretty damn accurate remakes of songs. You are a musician, producer, or record company. You have a really great track y...

Just thought I'd mention that the story seems to be reaching the larger media now. Last thing I saw was that it was frontpaged on Rolling Stone magazine with a little note.

Almost every ancient gameconsole has been mentioned, but I don't think any of them have ever heard of a C-64 :D

Even if Tempest's version had been released on a Royalty Free CD, would that have had any effect on GRG's version which is the one that was actually stolen?

Some dude on DIGG said Timbaland is on a tour with Justin Timberlake at the moment, so we will probably not hear anything from him for a while. It will be interesting to follow this case. I have a feeling it will all be forgotten in a little while. Unfortunately. By the way, that album was number 13...

Hehe this just gets better and better. Check this out:

Seriously? Too many coincidences in my opinion. Not only did Timbaland come up with some chords that by coincidence sounded just like tempest's, he also used the same SID instruments.

I don't for a second think this was done independantly.

Hehe yep.

What if Do It was put out for free download on a website? What would RIAA do? Would they have the nerve to sue the one who made it available - even after they had been made aware of the theft? My guess is they would.

Btw, this thing is starting to get some attention here and there:
