No, Mushmouth, you're a liar, since just yesterday I gave the account of how it went down, and you just have snipped all of that with this post you made this morning.
I saw as soon as Cook posted the link to his website with the stolen material on it that his plan was to rile me up just as he had Bishop, a move that Bishop later used so well against Rik Roots, who hasn't stopped whining about it to this day, and not so well when Bishop tried it again with Karla Rogers, likewise, exactly the same sort of theft that Cook had done so well the year before with his theft of my "Karma Bombs", and, after making it clear that he had stolen the poem from me, took a different approach, having a different reaction... I thanked him for his "help" with promoting /my/ work, and proceeded to make posts leading to his link, with proper credit to me as the writer of the poem restored. Since his thievery backfired on him Cook quickly gave up and actually "gave" me my own poem back. Here's how I put it in a post responding directly to him, yesterday:
What can you say? Well at the time, when I wrote "Hey! You stole my 'Karma Bombs' poem!"
You wrote: "Not stolen, borrowed."
Then, when I began using the theft for my advantage, for publicity and as a presentation of my work, and also to solidly establish that the work was mine, since when you "borrowed" the poem without my knowledge or permission, you also forgot to credit me as the writer of the poem on your website (something Rik Roots is still screaming about Tom Bishop over, when TB did that to RR), so by promoting your site with proper credit I was establishing that.
Then, you gave me the track to do with as I wanted -which included adding music to it, as you quoted me above- and I set it up on another site, for that purpose. So everything worked out in the end.
Anyway, so where have you been so long, Michael?
Similarly, Tom Bishop has been missing for quite a while now, even speculation that he's died... he vanished right after the hubbub over when he seemed to be emulating you and stole Karla Rogers' poem "April", put it on a video without her knowledge, permission or credit to her. I suppose he thought that nobody on the newsgroups, including Karla, would have a problem with the theft, since you'd been doing it for years here with no problems.
Hey, check out some of my new work, tell me what you think (don't steal it, though, okay?):
