In typical Hollywood fashion, they treat intellectual property as "do as I say, not as I do"

This is a note-for-note and word-for-word ripoff of the arrangement that +Jonathan Coulton did of "Baby Got Back" years ago. And +GLEE just used it without contacting him. Unbelievable.

Since Sir Mix Alot owns it maybe they don't need to contact Coulton? Too bad nothing compares to the original. This version is just wrong on multiple levels.
+Dean Montague As +Nilay Patel explained so well on the Verge, the Glee producers probably didn't need to get permission or pay +Jonathan Coulton unless they actually used part of his recording which they might have.
It's more a matter of princple. They should at least acknowledge Coulton for his arrangement and inspiration.
