• Absolutely Terrible & Blatant Ripoffs

I felt I had to make this thread in light of the new Will.I.Am and Chris Brown track "Let's Go." They 100% ripped off of a popular trance song without any talks or even license agreements. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXQhVmnNmxk[/media] This is the original track "Rebound" by Arty & Mat Zo, which was hugely popular in the trance scene when it came out in 2011. [media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV6W6_PUj0E[/URL][/media] Will.I.Am and Chris Brown's "original" track and the amount of "effort" they put into it. So this kind of thing actually makes me sad because a lot of people who listen to this will have no idea that there were talented musicians behind the music who aren't even being credited here. It's causing a bit of uproar among fans, too, so I wonder how long it will be before this is taken down. Any other ridiculous and blatant ripoffs similar to this?
Final Combat and Team Fortress 2? The original Great Giana Sisters and Super Mario Bros?
I meant more about music, but sure.
This happens literally all the time look at the entirety of flo rida's oeuvre
put "southern metal" in the search box on last.fm or myspace or some other similar band-hosting site and take a drink every time you see a phrase along the lines of "THE SECOND COMING OF PANTERA" or "FOR FANS OF PANTERA" or something similar. legit, the number of shameless pantera clones out there - and ones that are actually gaining popularity, at that - is pretty astounding
I feel after the way the will.i.am thread went perhaps it'd be better to hold off on this sort of discussion lol
both are equally bad so who cares
Fine example here, though really I don't care cause it's awesome anyway [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=audxGqo5AkQ[/media] Original: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qo9R5kDZWY[/media]
Rihanna's song, "Stay" is a cheap ripoff of Lykke Li's - I know places.
The first time I listened to Computer Liebe I nearly shit my pants
