In Tom Scott's YouTube's copyright system isn't broken, the world's is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jwo5qc78QU), he says "It may seem unfair that the law holds kids on YouTube messing around to more or less the same legal standard as Hollywood studios. In public opinion, there's definitely a big difference there: People smile at small creators taking content from big companies well outside fair use, but never the other way around. And that's the reason that some small-time reaction YouTuber can take a five-second clip from a movie [...] but I'm damn sure if a movie studio took a clip of a reaction channel's video and used it in a film without permission, there would be lawyers lining up to take the case." This is what happened with Timbaland. The famous guy took a hobbyist's work and gave him no credit whatsoever. Bastard! I'm pretty sure that even if the _only_ thing Timbaland did was write "Track 9: samples from GRG's remix of Tempest's Acidjazzed Evening" in the liner notes of Nelly Furtado's album, then there would be no controversy... even if he paid them nothing and didn't bother seeking permission. But as he's a sneak-thief and an egotist, he deliberately didn't give them any credit, because then he'd have to admit it's not his hook, it's their hook he's hanging the track on, and his ego refuses to allow that. He also disrespected them by not even appearing to know where the music came from - he claimed it was from a "video game"; BZZT, wrong, it's /MUSICIANS/B/Blues_Muz/Gallefoss_Glenn/Acid_Jazz.sid from the High Voltage SID Collection, and he probably found and sampled the tune while using a SIDStation and browsing C64 music... but didn't respect his fellow musicians enough to cite his source. There was a similar controversy with Zombie Nation taking David Whittaker's Lazy Jones subtune 21 to make "Kernkraft 400" (but little mention that subtune 7 is the main riff of Nena's 99 Red Balloons)
