more on plagiarism

see, it's everywhere. this preacher is accused of giving other ministers' sermons without attribution.

"I take full responsibility for what I've done," Jackson said. "It was poor judgment on my part." He said that admitting fault "apparently is not enough" for some members ...

"We don't say we're presenting our word but the word of God," Jackson said of preachers. "It's better to give attribution, but we all borrow."

i find that as eyebrow-raising as the idea that fan writers deserve to have their stuff plagiarized by other fan writers on the grounds that they're playing in others' sandboxes in the first place. allusion is one thing; theft is another, and it's crap.
