Your situation is a little different. There are many artists who I find
personally distasteful but whose art I respect - for example, Muslimgauze.
His politics stink, but his music is great (frequently).
In this case, we're talking about outright stealing. Jeff and I did the
hard work and we were not credited or acknowledged at all. Hell, there's
tracks where we practically wrote and produced the entire thing on our
own... and it says "written and produced by gavin hardkiss."
So you'll forgive me if I spout off a little...
