The Lobby / Timbaland ripped a track from demoscener

Oh come on you guys, his analogy isn't so bad.  I mean, consider this.  What, exactly, does it mean to steal your TV?  Clearly, stealing your TV would be following you to the store, WATCHING you buy it, and then taking it from you.  Okay, that's stealing.  But obviously, if I just take your TV while you're not home or while you're not looking, then that's not stealing, right?  If I see a TV somewhere, clearly it is my right to take it and use it for myself.  That's what we call sampling, not stealing.  Everybody knows that.  Where's your common sense?

Timbaland admits using the music in this radio interview. Please listen for yourself and spread the word:

There is also a Youtube version, in the above MP3 you have to look around the mid-way mark to find the part.

Ah... thanks! Well, it seems to me like he's basically admitted guilt. He's lying about not having time to find the credits... He released the ringtone first, then one year later he released the song... he had plenty of time.

The way he distinguishes stealing from sampling is just bizarre... It's not stealing as long as you're not in the guy's house???

What kind of artist takes a finished work, adds a drumbeat and sells it as a ringtone?

He's just feigning ignorance in my opinion. He knows that he was on the wrong side of the law when he used someone else's music like that...

Please can someone give this information to Tempest if you are in contact with him (in case he doesn't have this info already).

I was told that all he needs to do is  contact Finnish equivalent of the Performing Rights Society (ASCAP, BMI or SESAC in the US), and let them know he co-wrote the Nelly Furtado song. They'll have to freeze all royalties until the matter is resolved. I think this can go Tempest's way...
