Watch that blood pressure. It helps to put it in perspective. From my understanding, Scott's friend played a very immature gag on him, which, somehow, got a little out of control. Although foreseeable, I really don't believe that anyone intended it to come this far. Such is the power of the internet - your most careless moments can receive world-wide attention in an instant.
It's like double-edged sword or like a boomerang: the more people you try con through the web, the more are going to come back to you.

It appears to have been an extremely immature prank that should be strongly discouraged, and your indignation is appropriate given that the trespass was upon sacred territory. But it doesn't appear to me that anyone, including Charles, really intended to misappropriate Robben's work for their benefit or profit. It doesn't appear that a sinister purpose or motive was involved; so I doubt that anything more should be made of it. I understand that Charles has "fessed up" and I would imagine that his embarrassment is immense. If it isn't, I doubt that there is anything we could say or do to rehabilitate him.
Kudos to you for tracking the prank down and turning it around. With fans like you, who needs the RIAA :-)
I wonder what would have happened it I didn't discover the fraud? I remember the initial comments. What was it all about? A glorification of Charles "blues" tecnique, a comparison of the 2 styles?
Perhaps I should have let it go on for while to see?
I like to put things into perspective and a person, when he gets caught with plagiarism, responds:
