Too Much Sampling Going On!

To prove my point, I'll go very recent:
Once upon a time in 1956 Renato Carosone and Nicola Salerno co-wrote a catchy song called "Tu Vou Fa L'Americano"...
In 2010, Australian producers Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP, sampled the song to make their worldwide hit "We No Speak Americano".
Later that same year, Dutch DJ Alvaro created a bootleg of the Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP cover with a Dutch-house style variant that is popular worldwide.
And even later THAT year, Pitbull, used the DJ Alvaro bootleg of "We No Speak Americano" and rapped over it, he subsequently called it "Bon Bon".
So the journey goes as follows:
Renato Carosone & Nicola Salerno - "Tu Vou Fa L'Americano" (1956)
TO
Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - "We No Speak Americano"
TO
Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - "We No Speak Americano" (ALVARO Bootleg)
TO
Pitbull - "Bon Bon"....
How far does the cycle have to go??
------------------------
The deal is, DJ Alvaro, who made the bootleg of "Americano" is now pretty peeved that Pitbull used his bootleg version without his consent...
So he's mad because of rapping over a bootleg of a remake of a remake...
I understand where DJ Alvaro is getting at. Pitbull credited Nicola Fasano (Nothing to do with the remake at all) as well as crediting Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP. Alvaro went to pretty great lengths to make a good bootleg for the clubs. But Pitbull is notorious for sampling, and I would really be surprised and pretty impressed if Pitbull does end up coming up with COMPLETELY ORIGINAL MATERIAL!
Nevertheless, Alvaro realizes he can't do much about it, and states that he only wanted to make sure that those who listened to the Pitbull song to realize it was using the Alvaro remake. From the tone of the video, I don't think Alvaro minded that Pitbull used his bootleg, I think he was actually pretty happy about it, the only thing was that he wished [Alvaro] was credited for the remix... Some funny Dutch English accent used here, but overall pretty neat video!
The main point of the post is...
WHAT HAPPENED TO USING ORIGINAL MATERIAL???
