Article: Online Plagiarism and Erotica (thank you NPR)
An article/story on NPR (audio and transcript): On Amazon, An Uneasy Mix of Plagiarism and Erotica. There's mention of specific cases, but also a general discussion of the ease of plagiarism of erotica (available elsewhere for free on the internet) and the way some forums/sites are intentionally monetizing plagiarized material.
Given the previous experience of some fandom authors whose stories have been ripped off (names changed and republished, etc.) and also the way some fandom authors legitimately re-purpose their fandom writing as original writing, I think this is a pretty relevant topic to our interests.
