Talk:Matt Abts

Copyright? Which came first.. ?
I found that this article's only reference is word for word the current text in this page! Which was written first-- the Wikipedia text, or that of that in the sole reference-- (in Drummerworld magazine )? IOW, "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"? Someone please respond to this. We can't take chances with copyright violation! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 14:13, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
