[00:00:00]So this brings me to modern times where YouTubers, musicologists, and music critics alike relish in calling someone like John Williams a musical thief because some of his music is similar to other pieces. Besides John Williams imitating other great composers, to which I say, "So what?" One funny example I recently discovered, and I don't think it's been mentioned in any other YouTube video, is that a '60s jingle from a Kent cigarette commercial is pretty similar to Williams's Raiders March.
