How can anyone seriously defend this?  This is clearly as @Menrva called it, "ripping-off without shame."  Of course my works have been stolen and used without my permission as well - disgraceful indeed.  This seems to be more the norm these days, people coming in stealing whatever they want, putting the goods back together in some way and then desperately wanting attention and recognition to lift their egos.  Sad from where we once were, but reality indeed and another warning to stay guarded on what is publicly shared...
