This is a true story.  A couple years ago I awoke to find that 
my apartment had been broken into.  I started looking around, 
and found the intruder hiding in my closet.  Adrenaline raging, 
I heard myself yell "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE".

Multiple choice...  The "correct" response for the intruder is:

  A) Stand there and ask "What's the magic word?"
  B) Run like hell before my fingers close around his throat.
  C) Don't break into my apartment in the first place.

I'm gonna go with C.

It's just plain silly to think that Barry wouldn't be pissed off
about somebody taking credit for his work, and sillier still to
believe that Barry's expression of anger somehow justifies the 
continued theft of his intellectual property.  Think about it.
