In the case at hand, the complaint alleges that the defendants sampled the record (using the actual master recording of "Revolution" as apposed to creating something new that used the same musical composition) and that the producer Mano actually sent a message to Tom Raybould on Twitter admitting to sampling his music prior to the records inclusion on The Weeknd's album. Mano allegedly wrote "I sampled your music might make it 2 the weeknd next album. Huge fan of what u did 4 the machine movie!" 041b061a72
