I like Dylan but he has been accused of borrowing and taking credit for decades.

Listen to any "traditional" blues and you will discover that most every version is somewhat different, that lots of musicians "remake" songs. This is tradition and completely acceptable.
"Life without music is a mistake" (Nietzsche)
expect people with great artistic ability to be people of great morality, honor and integrity in their personal lives. They are two different things. Also, I was taught not to judge the morality, honor or integrity of someone I've never met face to face, and I've found that to be a very useful lesson.
I've read accounts of people who don't like Dylan personally, but I'll focus on his music and lyrics, which have had an impact on my life.
