The grey album was never officially sold by Danger Mouse from what I remember.

Most albums that contain samples go through a legitimate clearing process. Many songs never get released because of sample clearance issues. People who truly profit from stealing someone else's work are generally sued.

Danger Mouse has a lot more on his resume that the Grey Album and other chopped samples. He's clearly an extremely talented producer and songwriter, as already mentioned.

Next time before you go on a little rant, you should at least know what you're talking about. I've made songs out of samples before and many without. I don't think their is less merit in either method. Some songs with samples are significantly more difficult to put together than 100% original compositions.
