Some food for the mind...(more about plagiarism).
Katie-Maude on FictionPress.com has written a very informative piece on plagiarism. No, it's not a rant like mine was. Rather, it's an intellectual piece that explains the misconceptions of plagiarism and clearly illustrates many of the rules and consequences of plagiarizing.
I believe it's a must-read for readers and writers alike, so please do check it out. It's called "Is Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery?". (Just click on the title if you want to give it a read - I've linked back to it.)
P.S. Read and sign this petition if you haven't already. It doesn't hurt to try, right? http://www.petitiononline.com/stopfp/petition.html
