I’ve often pondered whether the huge catalogue of music available on the internet would mean it would be easy for music to be plagiarised and released by other “musicians” without it being obvious.
Here’s one example of that very thing happening. An electronic artist called Laromlab has clearly misappropriated the songs of others, as this statement on his record company’s website shows:

“Here are the original track names and artists that make up the Laromlab album:

Laromlab / Original Title / Artist
1 Rock!! Hard!! / Nightvision / CrazyQ
2 Mission for Glory / Haschkaka / Dubmood
3 C: Dancer / Cybernetic Dancer / DMA-SC
4 Phat and Phunky Pt. 1 / Phat and Phunky Pt. 1 / CrazyQ
5 Zipp Zapp / Zip Zap Space Attack / CrazyQ
6 They’re back!!! / Return of the Fighters / DMA-SC
7 Sid Attax / Atari Attacks / CrazyQ
8 Return of Da Stomp / Local Hero / CrazyQ
9 Punk Funk / Pink Phunk Monster / CrazyQ
10 Nightdrive / Stars of the Night / DMA-SC
11 T-girl Dancing / T-Girl / Lotek Style
12 (Hidden) / Hiapoe / DMA-SC”

After searching through my collection I found that I did have one track related to Laromlab, “his” remix of Daft Punk’s Around the World. I wonder who actually did it.
