It's a HUGE problem, because tons of almost every kind of art, music, 
invention, writing and so forth was not created by the famed person, who 
allegedly created it.

Usually you have an 'alpha', who didn't do anything at all (sing, paint, 
write or invent) and a (or occasionally many) 'beta' who did all the 
difficult work for a small amount of money.

Now the 'alpha' gets the product of a certain beta from an agent (let's 
call that 'Q') and declares it to be the own work.

Other scumbags clap their hands and write euphoric articles.

The work is copied and sold millions of times and everybody is happy.

(Well, not quite everybody is happy. But that little inconvenience could 
be accepted.)
