If something was unintentionally copied from a previous effect will you guys address it specifically so it can be fixed?

Did PenguinMagic copy "The Wire" from Theory11, or did Theory11 copy "The Wire" from them?

If the latter is true, does it affect your opinion on PenguinMagic? How soon do you think is too soon to copy an idea like this?

I know it's been said that if you don't have explicit permission from the creator of a move, it can't be used, so just giving credit isn't enough. However, what if it's a variation of the move, or an expansion of the idea? If I have an idea to expand upon Geoff Williams' "I hate David Copperfield" effect, and I give credit to him for inspiration, is that ok? Or, if a move from somewhere else inspired a move I created, for example, Chris Brown's Venus Trap control inspired one of my own, and it works totally different from his, would that be accepted?

If you had to give credits about the wire to one person who would it be?

Like the above question, in whose head did the wire hatch and where?

How was the thought process behind it's creation, where and how did the theory11 team come together that lead to it's creation?

My question, much like Jacob L's, can adaptations and handling of certain moves be inputted as previously done on Theory 11? I have a move that can be applied to many other concepts in card magic, but it's a more in-depth technique of a concept that was barely touched on before and published in the magic community. Please denote details if any.

You guys probably receive many many effects, so it's probably impossible for one or even two people to go through them all. Who do you have to decide what gets published and what doesn't?

On the same topic of receiving a lot off effects, seeing as how you probably DO receive such a large number, how do you keep up with copyright laws? What if a creator leaves out a credit? It must get really difficult to keep up with who created what.
