It just seems so shameless in some instances. I'm thinking of how Horner's music in Star Trek II lifts that whole fifteen-second passage, seemingly note for note, from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet when the Enterprise is destroyed. (AFAIR, he didn't even bother to change keys.) When it's a literal rip off like this, how could he claim it was "his" music? I'd think at some point, when the rip off is as blatant as this, he should acknowledge (or the film credits should acknowledge) that "his" music is literally incorporating other music (by Prokofiev. or Copland, or Shostakovich, or Part, as the case may be).
