Plagiarization

Has Veeky Forums ever noticed plagiarization before?

Bret Easton Ellis plagiarized Morrissey

From the "End of the 1980s" section of American Psycho (1991):
"I still, though, hold on to one single bleak truth: no one is safe, nothing is redeemed. Yet I am blameless. Each model of human behavior must be assumed to have some validity. Is evil something you are? Or is it something you do?"

From the Morrissey B-side "Sister I'm a Poet" (1988):

Along this way
Outside the prison gates
I love the romance of crime
And I wonder :
Does anybody feel the same way I do?
And is evil just something you are
Or something you do?

>he doesn't know how intertext works

you would probably also disagree with Tarantino's chop-and-copy scenes that, when asked about, he called 'homages', right

theres a difference between allusion and plagiarism, not always clear

A lot of Roman playwrights took their plots from Greek plays.

I have an annotated edition of The Society of the Spectacle' that marked all the pieces which Debord straight-up lifted from Marx and replaced 'capital' by 'spectacle'. It's almost half of the book.

-eh. I was bilingual for the last stretch of school (I moved to germany from the states) so when I had to write a report on anything, I'd just go to the english wikipedia and then translate the article myself. works every time.

There's a freebee for all you sad fucks still in school.

pls b tru

Shakespeare took his plots from everyone.

I'm not even a huge BEE fan, but was Morrissey really the first person in human history to say those words in that order before? Let alone to reach that question?

I am sick and tired of this. Every day I come to Veeky Forums, and every day there is at least one thread up with an OP image of an attractive woman dressed scantily and posing seductively. It's probably the same one or two people who do it honestly. Let me tell you something, you faggot pieces of shit who are doing this: you are the poster child for everything that is wrong in literature, art, and society as a whole today. You are incapable of coming up with anything creative, thought provoking, or of substance, and you lack even the smallest modicum of intelligence, so you use "style" and "flash" and pizazz in place of it and to draw attention to yourself, because that's the only way your SHIT "creation" and ideas would ever get seen by anyone. And before you say anything, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that I don't have a girlfriend. Anyway, I will be petitioning the owner of this website to ban your asses, so enjoy being able to post here while it lasts, because it's not going to last long, just like you that one time you convinced an obese girl to let you fuck her.
