Scooter: Rip off merchant?

My mate was pissing about on this scooter website - scootertechno.com and found out about this new scooter track apparently called "Plantation" which completly rips off Kaycee - Escape.

Took a classic, albeit cheesy, turned it in to a fucking gay pop tune grrrr .

Ive uploaded a sample that he got, here

This revolution must stop!

Why can't Scooter do us all a favour and just die

Nah, it doesn't need to stop. When they blatantly use melodies from other artists, probably they are paying the royalties for this. For example, I don't remember (nor I care) which tune they "ripped off" from Push, but guess what? Probably, they'll sell more copies than Push did, and Push will receive part of the money.

Plus, they used to be a great act (I even own a single from Scooter: "Fire"), and they've been around for 10 years: how many other artists managed to last this long? Even if it's cheesy, it's usually a gateway to electronic music... first Scooter and then trance, techno, drum'n'bass...

If you don't like them, just ignore their existence... why care?

Mike was never asked for permission, he said on his forum. But he recently said BMG helped him solve it, so he propably got compensated after all

I care because Scooter > Wrong
Scooter causes 14 year olds to sing and dance and shout YAY WE LOVE SCOOTER in the streets.

Those 14 year olds grow up to be pikey 18 year olds with 1.2 nova's (no offence to anyone who drives a 1.2 nova, unless your a pikey of course, then i hope you turn your car into a fireball during a failed burnout) and we all know what pikey nova drivers listen to? Yes, Scooter...

Therfore, he should be burnt alive in a big pit along with Flip and Fill and said pikey's.

Let's suppose they suddenly release "Scooter - Gore yellow" (I couldn't think of a lamer name, could i? ), using the melody from Gouryella. The melody would reach people who aren't close to trance and it'll probably lead them to the trance scene.

I'm no die-hard scooter fan, don't get me wrong. However, I don't think we should bother so much Besides, Scooter helped me get my first girlfriend, so I'll always be grateful to them

How am I supposed to defend Scooter if they don't help me out? If they didn't ask for permission, then it's just wrong, however, if Mike gets his money back, it's fair enough, in my humble opinion

Wahay. Another Scooter thread.
I'm beginning to think you guys really love the band, why else would you do so many threads about it?
