It's a remix of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMZ2Pg9XN Ro
but i don't know if the NG author has asked the permission to Fluxland to sample his song.
(in fact the choir has been copy-pasted from the original)
Let me give you a little history lesson:
2000 - Daft Punk's One More Time was created recreating a sample from the original song "More Spell On You"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ztzl_VYl X4
It was accepted because besides recreating the sample, they added a lot more elements to the song and made it their own as well as many other tracks they have sampled.
2004 - Scooter's song The Question is what is the question used samples from Jock Jams' I like to Move It still accepted for creating original content.
A more recent example would be Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsRWpK4pf 90 which uses a sample from Michael Jackson's song
Wanna Be Starting Something.
My point here is, you can make a song surrounding a particular theme and still make it yours by adding your own style and original elements to it and still be consider your own song and not a remix.
Now back to the topic, when I was making Victory Dance, I found this vocal sample pack which I legally bought about football anthems, I honestly didn't know it had copyrighted content, but that doesn't really matter now, since Im not using it for commercial purposes, so stop all this whining already and live with it.
Btw back in 2008 when I submitted Victory Dance for the first time I mentioned on the Author Comments that the song contained content not created by me, but legally acquired from the web.
Finally thanks to Giordan010101 for pointing me correctly to the origin of this song: Fluxland created by Ramon Roelofs.
See ya around guys!
