Seeing as the WTS has plagiarized the John William's Jurassic Park theme song, how about someone (V?) put together a clip with song 92 (Preach the Word) playing in the background with all the society's beliefs about dinsosaurs? Could be entertaining.
Just an idea.
I hope when the Borg settles with Williams that it becomes widespread public knowledge.
This is the first I have heard of this!
Details?
When they settle? There's a case out? If so, I don't think there's a leg to stand on. The Borg didn't copy the Jurassic Park theme.

you have to admit it's strikingly similar . . .
not sure anyone would have a claim though
perhaps Frank Kavelin could give us his opinion . . .
The WTS is certainly not above plagiarism:
What would be essential to such a Youtube video is the illustration of the Flood that appeared in an '80s brochure or tract. I've been searching for it for years, I hope someone has it. It is an updating of the same illustration of the Flood that appeared in the 1978 My Book of Bible Studies....with one exception, it shows a Tyrannosaurus Rex drowning. I swear I remember this because I was surprised when I saw it....I'm hoping someone has a copy of the image.
I can hear some of the similarities you're hearing, but I don't know if a case can be made for any infringement or plagarism. After all, there are only so many notes and chords, just as the are only so manyletters, words, and phrases. Very often I hear little bits of songs that remind me of others, but I don't think any crime was committed.
I like the idea of the video, however and will see if I can help Leo find the document she remembers.
...and ANY mention of the WT and dinosaurs brings THIS to mind (from cafepress):
Leo, I remember that picture!
If I were the composer I'd be suing them for plagarism!
