Giorgio Moroder* is a kind of legend in electronic dance music.
One of his latest music videos was done by Jai Lewis and looks like this:

...Which is quite similar to this demo called Spin:

Actually the only difference between those two are the music, the Moroder video being of worse quality and that only the latter one credits the real makers of that video. It was done by a greek demogroup for the finnish Assembly 2011 convention.
Personally I think this is really lazy and stupid plagiarism. Particularly since according to the demo group ( http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=10152&page=1 ) Lewis originally asked for permission to use the video on a gig of his and got the permission as long as a) it was non-profit and b) the group got credited.
Instead he went on to use it again and didn't think he would get caught. Stupid.

Shameless. Utterly shameless.
