Title: Crystal Castles, more like Stealing Stealers!
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on June 24, 2008, 03:05:36 PM: Looks like the band is not only on more drugs than Amy Winehouse (http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=19658.0) - they're stealing to support their habit (http://gameboygenius.8bitcollective.com/wordpress/2008/05/06/crystal-castles-and-chip-music-copyright-infringements/), too.

Post by: Don Flamenco on June 24, 2008, 04:07:31 PM: I agree that this is pretty shady. If it was just samples, then I'd say it's not different enough from the Amen break situation, but we're talking whole songs, it seems. lame.

Post by: hyp on June 24, 2008, 04:09:45 PM: yea that's pretty fucking lame for a mainstream artist to steal from the indie guys. c'mon now.

otoh, underground artists sampling off mainstream acts :shh

Post by: tiesto on June 24, 2008, 04:17:23 PM: Yeah, I heard about this before... really lame. I bumped into Covox after his performance at 2006's Blip Festival in NYC (the largest chiptunes festival in the world), and he was a really cool guy, he doesn't deserve something like this.

Post by: FatalT on June 24, 2008, 08:47:06 PM: I like Crystal Castles. The only reason I even know about them is because there was a huge thread about them stealing parts of songs from other artists on SomethingAwful.

EDIT: This Covox guy looks like a huge taco. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT4YCX7Tsps
