Crystal Castles Steals Music, Breaks Creative Commons
Some one on 8bitcollective made the above video and posted it on YouTube. Then it was taken down after copyright infringement claims by a third party.
Which brings up the point. If its not really your music and you've violated the licence that it was released under why say that its violated your copy right? That's Lo-bat's call.
Or Covax whose drum have been sampled pretty heavily by CC.
What strikes me as funny is that if CC had contacted any of the artists they would have had no problems. Also if they had made statements about how they had no contact with the chiptune scene and came up with the sounds on their own.
Plagiarism: This is another good read on the subject.

they should take them to small claims court for the 400 dollars the crystal castles album is going to make. and then everyone can go out and blow it together on a steak dinner.

I'm stunned by how much free advertising a band can get by sampling chiptunes without permission.

read about this on wire to tear where i posted this:
"wow. just previewed the tracks on amazon.. this music is terrible. next time they steal something they should at least steal something good. this is just more derivative dribble left over from this 80’s revival that is hopefully dying out soon. lame and boring. did absolutely nothing for me.
also, i find it pretty lame that they aren’t getting permission to use the things they seem to be using w/o permission. do they have no concept of copyright or fair use etc? i know that canadians get educated at least as well as americans do so they should be aware of these things.

the guys who programmed the megaman music are infinitely more talented than CC.

man, you guys have no idea.
CC played SXSW this year several times, all packed houses. These guys pretty regularly pack whatever venue they are playing. It's definitely a big deal.

They get pitchfork support and linkage, and their album got a 7.8 rating by them. Like it or not, pitchfork holds HUGE indie cred and pushes record sales tremendously, esp. for a high-scoring album such as this.
It's really pathetic what these kids did, and everyone should know about it.
