i like werbert, he's origional, didn't he make up that whole "the church of" thingy? that everyone copyed and played out. he probably got a life or figured out that everyone was ripping him off so he decided to end it all.
Why does it bug you so much to find out that something is inspired from something else?
You seem to dismiss things based on the fact that the idea wasn't original. I'm convinced that there are very few original ideas, or thoughts left out there for anyone to "find". Very often, a second or third implementation of an original idea is a huge improvement over the first draft. That doesn't always make it a rip off, either.
What's the problem?
BTW, this question has nothing to do with the thread.
