Hello,
I believe coolman.s3m (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=39036 (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=39036)) is identical, minus the first pattern, to Skaven's mangrove.s3m (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=49333 (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=49333)).

(And, to be sure, Skaven was first. According to here: http://www.futurecrew.org/skaven/tracker_music.html (http://www.futurecrew.org/skaven/tracker_music.html), mangrove.s3m was released in 1993, whereas coolman.s3m contains a copyright notice dated 1996.)

Indeed, a very obvious rip. Thanks for bringing that to the attention of the community. I'll move this to confirmed reports and update your post with a template of information.
