It was typical to lift from other songs in the early days of video games, so although I'm sure it was illegal, it never occurred to anybody to sue.
It's different when you are plagiarizing in your own genre, doing nothing transformative to the original work.

I was trying to remember that guy's name. He did the whole chris brown thing like "yeah, I did it, it's in the past, let's talk about what i'm doing now"

overall score 18/30this wild canadian couple (or was it australian) shot to superstardom in 2007 or 2008 with their debut album "crystal castles"... little did most of their fans know that their myspace page was harbouring a dark secret: a song by 8bitpeoples star LOBAT. if you looked closely you could find traces of theivery on the album too, with a snare drum stolen from COVOX hidden on one of the tracks. Also they stole some picture of some woman for their next album that no one liked. i dont think they ever apologised and the guy who made the backing tracks was a complete dork so they get a 3 out of 10 for likeability.
