This might be old but I totally missed this. Has anyone see the clip of a guy named Michiel de Jong that sent this track to Black Hole Recordings, had it rejected, then what is clearly a ripoff is released years later as a track by Tiesto? This made me absolutely sick to my stomach. I've often thought about this ever happening to me when sending a track to a label.

What do you all think? The video is pretty convincing to me.

Traffic was the theme to Gremlins the movie I thought?

That guy looks pretty pissed, I would be too honestly but is there anything he could really do? Sue maybe?

Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

What a generic and crappy melody. I want my 2 minutes back...

Traffic = Psykofuk - Psykofuk
Suburban Train = Kid Vicious - Re-form
Lethal Industry = Alec Empire - Suicide EP
Nyana = Subtle By Design - Sirius

If you look harder, I'm sure you'll find even more.

Tracks get ripped off all the time but in this case the ripoff was done by the label that the poor guy sent his track to, making it especially painful for him. I can only imagine how I would feel.

Hate the track...But seriously, what a poor lad.

it might be the same chords yes but what does that mean realy? its not the same "arp" and note the same sound and the rest of the track aint the same. u dont have rights on a chord-play i think.

True, but if you look closely all tracks I mentioned are 'ripped' off by Tiesto/Black Hole. Seems a bit of a shady practice over there.
