Jonathan Coulton a rip-off artist?

I'm curious about this. Anyone have anymore information?

Listening to the Code Monkey mp3 is pretty incriminating. I fancy myself a google ninja and I could find nothing about this site or the guy mentioned. I'm going to start searching for some of his songs next.

EDIT: So Erine Wade is/was from Moosup, CT according to the link. Coulton hails from Colchester, CT. Moosup is a village in Plainfield, CT.

Here's a mapping courtesy of Google:

35 miles. Don't know CT that well so I'm not sure how often someone would make that drive.

This Ernie Wade guy was 7 years older than Coulton.

Anyway, the whole thing could be a hoax. I c.b.a do to any more research than that and I don't have anymore source material since the original link was a tweet.

EDIT2: Site exceeded bandwidth so no way to verify email link. Agreeing with @danco that it's a hoax. *puts tinfoil hat back on the shelf*
