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?
you would probably also disagree with Tarantino's chop-and-copy scenes that, when asked about, he called 'homages', right
Wyatt Baker
theres a difference between allusion and plagiarism, not always clear
Julian Garcia
A lot of Roman playwrights took their plots from Greek plays.
Benjamin Thomas
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.
Gabriel Cook
-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.

Shakespeare took his plots from everyone.
Hudson Martinez
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.
Jaxon Flores
He was probably aware of this too, since there are more than a few references to the Smiths in Rules of Attraction
Eli King
No I have not

Dick Wimmer stole from the final stanza of Hart Crane's "Purgatorio" (1931-2) for his "Irish Wine Trilogy" (2001):
Hart Crane:
But rather like a blanket than a quilt And I have no decision—is it green or brown That I prefer to country or to town? I am unraveled, umbilical anew, So ring the church bells here in Mexico—
Dick Wimmer:
Speeding through Saturday morning London traffic in the plush leathery comfort of this Austin cab and I'm unraveled, umbilical anew!
Justin Rivera
If BEE was aware of it (which he undoubtedly was) then it's plagiarism.
Nathan Powell
Simon and Garfunkel stole from The Kinks
Chase Morales
Correct me if I'm wrong, it's kind of a far-out theory, but I think Joyce stole the plot for Ulysses from Homer.

Woah woah slow down there

Shakespeare took his plots from her majesty the Queen.

Luis Parker
It's not plagiarism or an homage you goofs, it's characterization. Bateman spergs out about Huey Lewis, of course he's going to pass Morrissey lyrics off as his own.
Hudson Scott
It's not defensible. Ellis stole the Morrissey lyric and tried to pass it off as his own.
only libtards claim that ''''''''''''''''''ownership of thoughts''''''''''''''''' is not a retarded idea and only the most retarded libtards claim is it a crime to '''''''''''''''''''''''''steal the ideas of others''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

After extensive research, I've determined that Milton actually plagiarized much of the story of Paradise Lost from the Bible.
Groundbreaking stuff, I know. I'm going to write and publish a book on it soon.
Landon Green
Big if true
Kayden Gomez
There's a difference between drawing on religious and mythological texts for background to purposefully stealing a few lines from another work because you think no one will notice.
don't defend these hacks. there's good conceptual art out there but richard prince is not one of them.
Isaac Williams
for a ridiculously long time i've been working on a collage exclusively made out of excerpts from various authors where i only change proper nouns with the most minimal editing and funnily enough, that's silly tough hard work
David Cruz
yes he is
Nolan Reyes

Alexander Rodriguez
It's funny because that Rick and Morty episode about the mini universes is a blatant ripoff of Sturgeon's 'The Microscopic God'.
