I was piano shopping at this music store on Long Island a couple of years ago. A salesman came up to me and asked if I would like to hear a demonstration of one of their digital pianos. He seemed anxious to strut his stuff, so I emitted a begrudging "OK".

"This is a little something that I composed!" he said, then proceeded to play "Arthur's Theme" . STOP IT! If you're going to plagiarize, at least make it something good! I called him on it. He was NOT impressed!

Unless Christopher Cross decided to pull a John Howard Griffin and move out to the Island to peddle pianos...
