So basically in 2008 these guys came out with the same song, just with a voice layer over it.
He contacted the label and they didn't respond and still aren't. He actually sent a lawyer to korea and what they told him is basically that there's nothing they can do for him.

Just a little anecdote
did they clear the sax sample? (the old tune)

true true. but those 'pop' artists are usually in bands with their own instrument/members...

these pop singers have zero talent except to dance like a puppet and sing other peoples lyrics and steal other peoples productions. theyre jokes

Aren't they copyright rules to stop this - I would've thought he would have to pay royalties at least?

This is pretty ridiculous. I know there's no real rules to sampling but it seems like people who sample frequently use older records that are past their prime. This is cool because it breathes new life into an older track that may have never been heard by todays audience. This just seems like blatant laziness to samples songs that aren't even a year old and it sucks that a mainstream artist will get more recognition than the original. A perfect example is TJR's "Funky Vodka", when my buddy first played this track I absolutely loved it, but it didn't get the crowd going as much as Pitbull's track "Don't Stop the Party". This really sucks because this hack who already has a massive audience is gaining all the fame and fortune for a track he didn't make. You could say this about all people who sample but again they've gone through the effort to dig up a lost gem and flip it into a modern take. Where as Pitbull and Flo-Rida are blatantly taking modern songs, toy with the arrangement and drums, add shitty lyrics and call it a day.
