Your right. Mismag recently uploaded a tutorial for touch by Hanson Chien which he refuses to take down because its apparently a variation (looks pretty darn similar to me). He also has Untitled by Luke Dancy which he says is an improvement on the original. (because apparently, when you come up with an improvement to a trick you dont talk to the original creator about, no.. you tell the world for free!)
Oh and dont quote me on this WyattSB, but from the tone i get in the replies from the few emails ive sent him over the last few weeks, i sincerely doubt he's ever got permission for anything.
