** You know all of those songs you are hearing that are early 20th century renditions of songs that came along decades later? Turns out that Albert Fink gets these songs through tears, then markets them as his own music, plagiarizing the artists through time travel. The example they give you of this is when you approach a tear in Fink's factory that is playing Credence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son". While the idea of Jeremiah stealing songs from the future to sell in his time is amusing enough, it gets even more amusing if you know about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fogerty_v._Fantasy the legal problems lead singer John Fogerty has had with record companies and copyright infringement claims]]. [[TheChewToy Poor John]], now he's getting screwed by a corporation that could claim copyright ''retroactively through time travel''. Sheesh!
