I agree with, Scott. There is just so much material out there now that coming up with something completely original seems almost impossible.
I'm not saying it is right, but its so hard to stop it now that it seems almost not worth the time (up to the individuals meaning ripped off though). And like he also stated, for non-FPW fans that watch the Fringe, they won't even know the source material is ripped off, let alone care that it was.
