==Laromlab==
{{main|laromlab}}

In addition to his band-based activities, Harrod was also the producer behind the "Laromlab" [[chiptune]]s plagiarism. H
arrode had just released an album as "Laromlab" on the American label Mushpot Records in February 2008 when it was revealed that all of the tracks on the record were made by European chipmusicians in the collective YM Rockerz; specifically Crazy Q, [[Dubmood]], DMA-SC and Lotek Style.<ref>http://www.billboard.com/artist/laromlab/975635#/artist/laromlab/975635</ref>

In addition to the use of the YM Rockerz music on his self-titled record, Laromlab has admitted to the use of songs by chipmusicians Aleksi Eeben, Goto 80, Ikuma, Gasman and Randomizer.<ref>http://randomizer.se/2008/04/dont-imitate-just-innovate/</ref>

Laromlab had about 39 tour dates across the [[United States]] playing these artists' music without their permission, as well as notable radio air play and featured music in podcasts.

Mushpot Records subsequently dropped him from their label. As of July 2008, no legal action has been taken in the matter.
