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

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.

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.
