hhmmm..well, it seems to me the whole thing could have been avoided in a couple of ways. Aside from the obvious (i.e. making decent music with a bit of effort) it seems reasonable that the accusers in this case could have considered that the people they were accusing used the same source material for their music before embarking on a campaign against them. Is there so little thought put into this music that someone doesn't remember where they lifted an untreated loop from?

I think some people have some serious back tracking and public apologies to be getting started with. I think it's f.ucking disgraceful. No matter how seriously one takes one's efforts (if there are any) at producing original music, there is NO EXCUSE for doing what has been done here given the eventual truth we have seen revealed. These accusers should be ashamed of themselves!! I'd also recommend selling all their studio equipment and going to work in a factory. Obviously the repetitive production-line formula appeals to them, and bar any industrial accidents it would seem to be less of a minefield. Very sad. I'd like to see those who have posted their accusations here come back with an explanation that refutes what appears to have happened as I'm still unconvinced that anyone could be so carelessly stupid. If they don't, I feel it's safe to assume they have realised their errors and are unable to back up their actions.
