File under "Talent Borrows, Genius Steals", the band Crystal Castles have been accused of abusing a creative commons license when they illegally sampled a Chip Tune artists music without his permission!
I'm also reading a blog entry about sampling to better grasp the gist into copyright and illegal sampling....So make your own mind about it. Have a listen to the embedded video above to spot out the difference!
UPDATE/FUCKDATE!
After this news broke out, we at the frames made this startling discovery that would put you off to listening to the band ever again!
Not only have they been sampling other peoples music, but other peoples artwork........WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!
Does this image look familiar to you? Yes? Well it should. This was the image they used to promote on their myspace page a long time ago. Its depicted with Madonna rocking a blackened eye. In fact last week I saw this guy wearing a Crystal Castles "Tee" with the image above slapped on to it.
This is where the original came from

This was done originally by artist Trevor Brown in 1991 for Garbage Sandwich! We're still digging some holes!
