My brother thinks he can do stand-up...

<< < (4/4)

ChadTower:

He does it on TV mostly, too, not so much for the stage.  He makes a LOT of money with other peoples' stuff.

ChadTower:

No idea, that's why I'm not an attorney representing standup comics.   ;D

A time stamped recording of you using it first?

Here's enough of a time stamp:

How does any author prove he is the author?  Someone may step forward and show that J.K. Rowling actually stole the Harry Potter stories from him, but until that happens . . . until we have evidence, I think we can assume that she's really the author.  Just like we assume that Mencia is the author of the material he uses until we see a video of some other comedian using the same material . . . but earlier.  I'm sure Mencia doesn't steal EVERYTHING he uses.  He just steals a helluva lot of it.  And he doesn't even make it his.  He doesn't even change it up.  It's ---smurfing--- lazy.

ChadTower:

We're not a court of law.  We can assume whatever we want.  I assume everything out of that dude's mouth is stolen, in his act or outside of it.  In fact I think he reads this forum and stole a bunch of posts to put on KLOV.
