Don't Bother To Print Any Copies. Just Take The Source Book and Change The Cover

This is something that bothers the hell out of me, because I've encountered this attitude and I don't understand it: Jonah Lehrer, who you might remember being an up-and-coming writer who was discovered to be an alleged serial plagiarist, has a new book deal. Basically, this guy allegedly committed what used to be the most unforgivable cardinal sin of journalism, stealing others' work without attribution, yet someone is willing to pay him to write again. And I'm finding that the younger the person, the more likely it is that they see plagiarism as no big deal. How this happened, I don't know, but it's real and it's disturbing. (Gawker)
