grapejuice i think what you have written is a bit bitchy & simplistic...if somebody plays a part in someones career and influences them to doing stuff and working with people, that ends up makes them succesfull...you can understand why they would have something to say about it.

in industry terms there is actually a legal term that makes them eligble to get paid called "finders fee"....

plus if someone makes something :ie. films footage and someone else steals it and gets paid for it...you can understand the annoyance and why someone would feel aggressive and annoyed. but your posting this and saying he should shut up?
