I just read an interview where he (Plasticman) admits to finding out about the connection with Richie Hawtin and he still won't change the name. "I don?t want to change my name right now. I?m just starting to break. The scene is still fresh and new, and in 5 years time I want people to be able to look back and see that I was doing my thing from the start." http://www.hyperdub.com/softwar/plastic.cfm He might use a "Q" instead of a "C" apparently Personally, if I had found out someone had been using a name for a long time before I came along - I'd change it tout de suite. If he wants to have people think he was doing his "thing from the start" I think it would be best to come up with something that doesn't make him look like he's biting someone else's game.
