Are they 'stealing' the theme, or just reusing it? Do you think
they're using it without permission? To the Cartoon Network, and
to most of their viewers, it's just another piece of music. I
suspect most TV themes are played without a mention in the credits
to the composer.

Or is it being represented as someone else's work?
