Sweet article

And now I present a short bit of an article I found while looking for something to use with my ppt...

THIS ARTICLE IS plagiarized. Every word in it has been
brazenly "sampled" from a book, the dictionary, and "remixed" into a news
story.

That's a pretty silly way to define plagiarism, but it's
not far from the logic of a September decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the 6th Circuit. In Bridgeport Music v. Dimension
Films, the court held that the rap group NWA committed copyright infringement
when it used a looped three-note, 1.5-second riff from the Funkadelic track "Get
off Your Ass and Jam" for its song "100 Miles and Runnin'."

Hahahahaha!
