Re: Timbaland's answer to this "controversy"

I think he thought the C64 is a video game lol, I mean you can play games on it, but I don't know what he was thinking. lol I don't think it was about him thinking he wasn't going to get caught. I really believe he couldn't find the credits and he took the chance that if someone claims it so be it and if not then it's public domain. And it took Tempest 2 years to claim the sample, so he probably thought it was public domain. It depends on where he got it from really. Tim has been cut from albums before because he couldn't get the sampled cleared even on his own albums, why didn't he just steal the samples all those times and not get them cleared. That's why I think it was an honest mistake. And yes he really did sample it, he didn't take the song as it was. He didn't take the whole song and he added to it, therefore it's a sample. Actually, a pretty bad uncreative sampling job.
