So what? Maybe people like the Glee version better than the original.
I do think it would be good PR on Glee's part to give Coulton a credit. However, there may be a risk of some type of legal consequences if the show did that, so I can see why the show wouldn't do it.

I just think it was about the lack of credit given for the arrangement. On Sun, Jan 27, 2013 at 6:59 AM, Melissa P <[email protected]> wrote: Well, that's what should have happened. He'll make some money (for two charities) that he otherwise wouldn't have made thanks to Glee stealing his arrangement. BTW I disagree with Lynch's math. It was only one song on a series that has lots of songs, and Coulton was only the arranger, not the writer. I doubt that many pennies changed hands.

So free publicity is supposed to make up for the fact that, by the time you add up advertising during the episode, iTunes downloads, physical CDs, DVDs, and cast tours, Fox is probably going to gross more off of ripping him off than he ever did for the original? -- David J.
