1. Crystal Castles Steals Music, Breaks Creative Commons
2 months ago
One example of Toronto Band Crystal Castles' breach of Creative Commons license.

The band has been found to be illegally sampling musicians and not crediting them for their work.

The video shows one case, but there are more. Please look into the issue further, and let people know that Crystal Castles are using the hard work of other musicians and not respecting the license under which their music is being released.

  • you are talkin big talk there. thems is fightin words.
    its called a remix! and it must have taken someone the better part of a jam session to integrate the suspected original into the suspected violation. its not the same as stealing you grandma its called apropriation and its acceptable within the premise of sampeling. plus i could point out that many popular software and hardwares come standard issue with samples that sound virtually familiar to this so called theft.
    before you go blowing the whistle on anyone you should do your homework as to not appear as though you have burned a circuit.
    you have not even earned a sherlock related comment yet because you are ice cold off track with your accusation.
    step correct sparky!
    stay in law school and leave the trenches of the nonsubtleties of electronic music production to the ones who know how to boom bip a bleep!
    good luck with your other ventures in life because this one is dead!
    next!
