BOYCOTT Crystal Castles
It's recently come to light that Crystal Castles, a Toronto-based band, has been heavily sampling music from several chip music artists without obtaining permission or crediting them. Lo-bat's tracks Bibibi and Tizzy, from his 8bitpeoples release Game Boy, are just two instances of this.
8bitpeoples release all their music under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND License. What this means is that you're free to share it however you like, with whomever you like. They ask in return is that you credit it appropriately, do not use it for any commercial purposes, and obtain permission before creating any derivative works (such as remixing it or using it as the soundtrack for a video). Crystal Castles has violated every term of this license in their use of Lo-Bat's music. Furthermore, they have committed copyright infringement by sampling other artists such as Covox, whose drums from his song Sunday appear in no less than four Crystal Castles songs.
For more information on Crystal Castles' questionable musical approach, the rising trend of chip music plagiarism, and the Creative Commons take a look at these articles:

Do not support the work of musicians who plagiarize others for profit.
Boycott bands like Crystal Castles and please spread the word.
We are not against Crystal Castles' music, we simply want them to acknowldge the people who they have taken their music from. They are cashing in on free music and the 8-bit community is suffering. If you like Crystal Castles music, got to http://www.8bitcollective.com and there is lots of music like Crystal Castles to download legally and for free.

Also the analogy is weak. slickerchick definitely needs to meet the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act (1988) (UK only) which, as we all know, applies to any artwork. So in fact, instead of being 'applauded by the original artist' you would more likely be prosecuted. Have a nice day.

"They are obviously better then these "8bitpeoples" because Crystal Castles is successful." Britney Spears has made more money from music than Crystal Castles. Therefore, Britney Spears is better than Crystal Castles.

You know, I'm tired of their fans and them saying "We're using sounds nobody else can get." Yeah, that's true since most other artists don't steal from other artists. Give credit where it is due CC. As for the CC>8bp comment, HELL NO. Trash80, Random, Animal Style, shit, anybody on 8bp is better than that mediocre bullshit.
