Yeah right it's not stealing.
Ever heard of obtaining something by false pretence?If you think it's not a crime,you go try and pull one off,then get caught.You'll see what happens.Tho' I suspect you won't be able to tell us what happens,coz the jail they put you in might not have access to the net(they won't put you in a fed club,trust me.)
Bottom line is,if bizkit made this "contest" as a way of collecting new material from unsuspecting wannabes-a-bizkit,it's stealing.
If they don't actually hire any of the people who turned up(they could argue that none was good enough)but end up using the material from those same people who weren't good enough,it's stealing.
And let's face it,they we're looking for a guitarist,not songwriter.Why the insistence on new material?Strictly?
