Well... Timbaland did use a loop from the Knight Rider theme song... He already proved his lack of originality. I wonder if he paid for using that.

slightly different, but sony BMG rips off dj rolando of underground resistance.

the crazy thing is that a year before they did this, the original was a massive "hit" on the techno scene, even becoming an ibiza anthem in the summer of '99 (ibiza having a total of zero techno parties at the time, which goes some way to show what a huge "anthem" the original was).
