Timbs Do Dirt??

Timbaland, as we all know, is pretty much as big as a producer can get. Many regard him as a musical genius and he very well may be, but is he also a thief? There is rampant internet speculation that Timbo stole the beat for Nelly Furtado's "Do It" from a Finnish musician/programming nerd named Janne Sunni. Sunni composed the music in 2000 at a Demoscene competition (chances are if you’re not a computer geek then you don't know what Demoscene is, but I learned about it here). There's a YouTube video that you can watch here that pretty much explains the whole situation. Decide for yourself whether Magoo's best bud is a thief.
