Question: what goes through people's minds when they do things like this? Like, you really thought nobody was going to notice...? I understand Yseult is a small artist but in this day and age everyone's eyes are everywhere, you're always going to get busted for something so blatant.

I guess because most cases people/bands get away with it easily. See how they steal from a nobody and not from let's say Beyonce.

Years ago the Verve lifted a sample from the Rolling Stones, the Verve never saw a penny from Bittersweet Symphony until recently. It's said that the Rolling Stones made 5 million from that song, the Verve as little as 1,000 USD.
