It stinks to high Heaven when something like this happens. A similar
thing happened in the UK, when Channel 5 put out a really crappy quiz
show called Topranko, and used Dudley Simpson's classic theme from
The Tomorrow People as its own. Nowhere in the titles was he
credited, and the result will be that people will think the music has
been written for a cheap and tacky piece of trash and not the
original show for which it was intended. But then maybe the company
involved in using what seems to be the UFO music by Mr Gray is one of
thesebig companies that thinks the law doesn't apply to them and that
they can steal someone elses work!
