This is pretty terrible, I thought I saw this topic in the crap shack so I thought it was photo shopped or something. But this fucking sucks regardless if its true or not.

closest thing to god, ds? this is why big music fans get on my nerves.

anyway i had a similar experience a couple of years ago when i realised that the red hot chili peppers stole a couple of their more famous songs like dani california, and ripped off a few bands in songs like give it away. i was getting less enamoured with them at the time anyway, but i guess it was a little deflating so i can sympathise with people who are disappointed in the band. i mean, i don't like porcupine tree very much but this is really pretty surprising. it does totally just ruin all of their music, if the plagiarism is as extensive as they are being accused of. plus, why now and not before?

this is probably the worst conduct you can display if you are a musician. it's the musical equivalent of nike's overseas sweatshops. but still, it's just music so the music is still there if you like it. i'd feel pretty lame if i had given the band any money.

what a loser!

i bet mra is crying right about now.

i always knew steven wilson was a hack. despicable.

give it away? if you mean the outro that was an intentional homage to black sabbath

hm maybe you're right. i think i remember someone showing me that they ripped off jane's addiction or something, but i guess that doesn't matter cos those guys are all just an extended band anyway. maybe i'm wrong about give it away, but they definitely stole dani california from tom petty.

justice has been served

haha closest thing to god jesus christ.

well this is karma doing some action

DS more like DreamsShattered

he denied the accusations ase...keep hope alive. i'm holding a midnight vigil for steve wilson's integrity.

did this newspaper used to contain spent chewing gum also? what dumpster did you get it from??

i really dislike porcupine tree and i'm pretty amazed that they would even bother stealing. such... such thought out lyrics

fear of a blank planet is the only song i wouldn't mind listening to again.

uhh

arrested for plagiarism?  sounds like tabloid bullshit to me!

But yeah can you actually be arrested for this?

i'm fairly sure you can't

You can definitely be sued really really hard for it.  Not sure about arrested.

i've got the feeling this' fake?
