Producer Timbaland rips song from finnish musician?

The producer Timbaland seems to have used a six year old song from a finish musician and used it for the song "Do it" by Nelly Furtado. Watch this video to see for yourself, and then visit http://tinyurl.com/yeqknw or http://digg.com/music/Timbaland_ripped_off_a_track_from_my_buddy to read more and to hear the original song.

UPDATE! Timbaland also used the song as a "Timbaland Original Ringtone" in 2005! Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2fTEeP6GM

Note: I have nothing to do with the original song, I just think it's wrong for someone to use someone elses work without crediting them.

I would like to add something else too: the point of these videos was to show the similarities between the songs. For some reason that is completely foreign to me, some users feel that this is the forum to express their hateful and racist comments about other people. I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH BEHAVIOUR! If you want to comment the videos, that is fine, but BE ADULT ABOUT IT! If the only thing that you can think of writing is something you wouldn't like said about yourself then don't write it.

If the hateful and racist comments continue, I will simply disable the commenting-feature.

Thank you for your time.

@BGP803 >>>"lets be honest he figured fuck it who listens to finnish music in the us"

.

What Timbaland actually said in his interview: It's just some stupid videogame. Who cares? Apparently he does not realize videogames and their songs carry the same Copyright as any other creative work. What the Finn musicians should do is hire RIAA to go after Timbaland and sue him $150,000 for each unauthorized song sold (copyright infringement) under the DMCA

The original author of the song gives a fuck.

@NtrangMusic

He didn't just steal 1 or 2 bars from Sunni's song. He ripped TEN bars. I highly doubt that is covered under fair use laws. Could you imagine the repercussions if an indie artist used 10 bars of a Universal Studios production in his work and then made money off of it?

@hushllen por favor english porque nosotros comprehende. feom everysingle person who.was like wtf when they saw your comment. and ....you.probably.dont understand one word im saying right now......

[NtrangMusic]

@gongal I'm sorry, is that English..... I didn't quite understand what you are trying to say. Anyway, international law allows samples of melodies up to a certain time, so if the basic melody loops as is normal, it would make any difference. oh, plus, who cares!

@NtrangMusic The shit are you talking about? He made it years ago. Not like fucking year before this timbaland stole it.

似てるといえば似てるけど

音程もビートも同じで12音から音を組み合わせていく上ではこう­なるのかなとも思う。

パクリだと言われれば仕方ないかな。

にしても、この音楽すぎだな☆

Douche video, haters gonna hate

[NtrangMusic]

Hard to prove that the finnish guy didn't actually steal it off him, as alot of the time songs are passed around the industry for years before being released. You'd want to be pretty sure about the facts before making a claim like this, as you may also be aware that defamation is also against the law.

@MrDoctereamz Has the explanation from SuperSukot and the top 2 comments on this video made this clear?.

[blade004]

@gijoeproducer I shall take heed in your point regarding the insults i made, you are correct ;). It's just that this video was put up 4 years ago and people are still repeating the same old arguments over and over and again in "complete" support of Timbaland. I hadn't seen this for couple of years and had wondered how the whole thing went so i came back to check on any updates in the comments between Timbaland & Janne only to find that idiocy was still prevalent.

[blade004]

@SuperSukot "Thank you" for clarifying my point with MrDoctereamz, hopefully he will understand it ;).
