Mother of all Funk Chords - (and copyright infringements?!)

Check out this simply amazing video from youtube's Kutiman - a mash up artist who has leaped to fame with his most recent work.



"AN Israeli music video artist has taken the online world by storm with a set of YouTube mashups that rewrite the book on remixing.
Ophir Kutiel, better known as Kutiman, spent three months scouring YouTube for the perfect set of video clips to turn into a highly original music video collection. Avoiding the big-name artists targeted by many remixers, he instead drew on the talents of everyday YouTube users.

The eight-track result – ThruYOU – has since received millions of views and become a massive hit with the wider music and online communities.

But whether his work could ever achieve commercial success is a tangle of questions over copyright.

The clips used in ThruYOU run the gamut from professional artists to bedroom wannabes. All are credited with links to their original YouTube clips.
