K-Fed blinded T-Dolb with… S-cien?
I’m saddened to have to report that not only is Britney Spears’ husband a talentless hack and drain on her bank account, but he’s also apparently lacking in ethics. Shocking, yes, I know.
It turns out that Popo-Zao himself has blinded Thomas Dolby, not with science, but with THEFT! Quoth the Dolb-man:
“Britney Spears’ husband Kevin Federline, whom I’d never heard of until a few days ago, appears to have illegally sampled one of my compositions. On his MySpace site you can download an MP3 which uses a looped sample from Mobb Deep’s ‘Get It Twisted’, which in turn copped the string line from my own song ‘She Blinded Me With Science.’ Now, Mobb Deep did it the right way and had his label BMG come and ask for a license. They paid me a fee and a royalty on the sales of Mobb Deep’s record. However K-Fed, as his fans affectionately refer to him, did NOT ask permission, he just went ahead and did it. He is therefore blatantly violating the copyright law. And laws aside, he owed it to me as an artist to ask if I minded that he recorded a vitriolic rap over the top of my music.
All arguments about fair use aside, Thomas Dolby’s prime error here is that he refers to K-Fed as an artist. Also, he refers to K-Fed’s affectionate fans. I’m pretty sure that they’re not his fans, and they’re not calling him K-Fed in an affectionate manner. Kevin Federline is essentially the butt of a joke that everybody in the world except Kevin Federline is in on.
I’m going to have to assume that Thomas Dolby usually has better things to do with his time than reflect upon what a total drag on society K-Fed is. It’s the only logical explanation

April, in his defense, even though I hate the good-for-nothing sob, almost every single band has a MySpace account, even the big name ones.
