so timbaland is accused of stealing music from some finnish loser that noone knows and now hes crying about it because he didn't copyright the material. according to this blog, the song Do It sung by Nelly Furtado and produced by Timbaland is a rip off of the beat "Tempest AcidJazz"<---check out the so called original
I like cows. :D

Actually any work of art is copyrighted from the moment you create it, but anyhow here is a youtube link playing the tune that Timbaland sampled, on a commodore 64.

1) Grammar and punctuation
2) Things are copyrighted the moment they leave your keyboard. Tempest has plenty of proof that his song is being ripped here. If you've bothered reading more than 5 minutes on it and actually listened to the clips, you'd know this case is pretty cut and dry.
3) What you think of Tempest or Timbaland really has nothing to do with the case. You don't like our music? The feeling's mutual.
Finally we got a comment from Timbaland himself!

Some people still don't get couple of facts and why what Timba did is wrong:
1. Copyright. The Copyright for a song or any other form of art starts when it's created, no need to apply for it or pay any fees to any organisation "holding the rights". This is to protect us from the situation where art is controlled by money.
2. Sampling. Sampling means taking short clip from someone's track and adding it to color a song. You must ask permission for samples, you cannot blindly assume that any piece of music is free for use, even if the coolest musician u know says that sampling his music okay, it does not go for all the others. Usually the source of the sample is mentioned somewhere. Sampling does not mean taking large sections of music and basing the whole track upon it. Sampling does not mean changing sounds to another, modifying 8-bit drum sound to more modern kind does not mean you created a now song and can claim it as yout own.
3. Fame. It has nothing to do with breaking the copyright law. Theft is a theft, when more famous steals from a less famous and vice versa. In both cases the oopyright law is broken in the same kind of level.
