Look at it this way - it's no worse than Rihanna ripping off New Order or something, and at least they're using decent samples like Tainted Love and Personal Jesus and not Flock of Seagulls or Eddie Murphy.

Yeah, that's true in a weird sort of way
It still is a fucking assrape to a perfectly good piece of music
I view this the same way I view the Kanye West Daft Punk sample - even if only 10% of the people who listen realize its a sample and correctly identify where it's from, that's an increase in the number of people who appreciate the original artist and might give them a listen.

If Kanye wasn't such a douche, more people might care. Sad, really.
or whether it kind of ruins the whole guilty pleasure thing. 
i want my 3 minutes and 40 seconds back.
