We "stumble upon" a lot of stuff through educated guesses. I haven't followed the situation with Metal 2 too closely, but basically took the entire construction kit (several samples) to orchestrate this "leak" since one of the samples specifically is used. Bad Charles is more or less a coincidence, no one knew they used Metal 2 as well.
This happens in music all the time, by the way. Ueberschall is one of several makers of their own samples that people can use, Spectrasonics is another one with Stylus RMX stuff being spammed a whole lot since B/W.
It's not directly comparable to stuff like Amen Break, because that's actually "stealing" for lack of better terms.
>>40707106Too much work and too little material to work on, isolation requires basically 100% match to properly work and compression will almost always ruins that.
