Anyone ever had a major idea/work stolen by the powers that be?

This Eric Monte (true creator of Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons) vs Norman Lear came up in my suggestions. I was familiar with surface of it but hearing him in his own words gave some flashbacks

 

[Luke Cage]

yeah, i was first to come up with the idea of wifing Nia Long, but the powers that be beat me to it.

Remember that Ray shyt that Jamie Foxx played?

That was my shyt

I never got paid, they got rich off a stolen script




In ninety eight I seen Charles on the Cali strip
Showed him the copyrights, his life in the real flick

In Braille, he read it in no time

Hit me with his math, said I'll give you some more lines

Real talk, stand up dude



Said ‘how you like Jamie Foxx to replay you?’ He said ‘yea that's cool
But under one circumstance,
you think he can bow my walk, flip my talk and my hands?’



I said ‘sure why not, he can imitate anything trust me this young boy hot’



Shook his hand then I bounced in the limo

Grabbed my cell, bit my cigar and then rolled down the window

I saw his story on Facebook a few days ago. Of course Norman Lear stole his ideas, a Jewish guy from Conneticut knew nothing about black families.

Yes. To this day I swear Sha Money XL stole a song off my MySpace page. Back when he used to follow EVERYBODY.

Since doing the Ring Gang Radio podcasts we have had some intellectual property stolen off us:

some examples

myself - i had an article I wrote bitten right down to a specific topic/concept for a past fight from the Athletic
my breh @LauderdaleBoss had a whole picture he drew plagiarized by Showtime..that was foul as fukk

a couple of summers ago we did a podcast topic talking about ESPN having a big fight archive but only re-airing certain fights, less than a week later a writer on boxingscene.com took all the major points from what we talked about and made a whole article...coincidence i think not

no ideas original

I came up with something while at my old job... They cliqued up with major companies to make the complete version I was working towards, then told me I "don't care" about the work cause of all the attention I was getting from it and laid me off.

A friend had his art work stolen by Adobe

 

[get these nets]

People steal ideas everyday, B.

If you don't have the resources to bring the concept to life, hold the idea close to the vest.

 

[Paper Boi]

nope and I stay ignoring those emails asking for people to submit revenue generating ideas voluntarily, you gonna have to pay me more for that.

after everything there's still a lot to "prove" in my immediate circle shyt's annoying but motivating i guess
