Chris Brown, Will.i.am Copyright Issue: Accused Of Stealing House Track For "Let's Go" Off #willpower

While Chris Brown is no stranger to trouble, and Will.i.am is certainly no stranger to being called out about his music, getting called out as a thief still has to hurt. The duo have found themselves in hot water because their new track "Let's Go" off of Will.i.am's #willpower appears to have lifted its sound from a little-heard house track called "Rebound" by producers Arty & Mat Zo.

Arty called out the beat-lifting on his own Twitter account saying "They never cleared rights through Anjunabeats, who's only one label, who ownes the rights for "Rebound"" (sic).

The two songs do sound very similar. Here's "Rebound":

And here's "Let's Go":

Brown responded to the accusations in typical Breezy fashion, with PR-nightmare style hostility.

First he tweeted, "I don't even know who mat zo Or arty is? I ain't got shit to do wit if ur mad or not. Someone asked for a feature on a record and I did it."

YEAH. GET 'EM, CHRIS. They should be glad an artist of your caliber jacked their song!

Not even sort of done, Brown continued, "I don't listen to that shit half the time anyway. #X"

I don't listen to the tracks I make when I record them, by the way remember to pick up my new album.

He deleted both tweets (head to HuffPo for the proof) before ending with "#staypositive."

Mat Zo didn't weigh in on the subject as much as Brown and Arty did. He deleted his Twitter and posted to Facebook the short, sweet and to the point message "Will I'm Not."

Prior to Zo leaving Twitter, his fans were viciously attacking Brown. He posted one final message before he left the service, asking for calm.

"I really and truly appreciate all the support you are giving me and Arty in response to will.i.am's copyright infringement," he then added "however, this doesn't excuse the horrific abuse you're sending the way of will.i.am and Chris Brown, and it especially doesn't excuse being racist."

What do you think? Are Will.i.am and Chris Brown guilty of copyright infringement in their song "Let's Go"? Do Arty and Mat Zo have a right to be mad?
