Fascinating read and I’ve no sympathy for a scene that eats itself based on its own “copyright does not exist” mantra. No wonder Timbaland ripped them off. Good to get a lesson in the community.
A great read. Even today in the indie game developer scene there's a huge range of opinion about what constitutes borrowing, copying, stealing, ripping, and grifting.
