Not FUD......... a warning.  

suppose you are a rapper or comedian.  You rehearse your act for months, maybe a year, and even perform it in front of other rappers/comedians for feedback.  Then you get a gig on a TV show.  However, the act that goes on just before you, having heard it from you at rehearsal, now performs your act.

How would you feel?

Do you think that the thief deserves the respect and support of the public?

Should the thief prosper from his theft?
