Plagiarism report

I’d like to report an instance of plagiarism in the Cardcaptor Sakura fandom. I have screencaps below:

The original, My First Love, by NiqueMon:

Hello my name is autobadgirl Badgirl for short and I will be moderating your case. Thank you for the screencaps, they really help. I will be contacting Tiara Li.

Wow! The plagiarized sections are identical down to the spelling/grammar mistakes. And while I think it's good that the first reviewer commented on this being plagiarism, I can't believe she felt that it was okay as long as the "writer" gave credit to the real writer. If you steal my writing I don't care if you do give me credit, it's still my writing and it's being posted under your name.

I think you might have a heart attack when you see Cherry Wolfie's sympathetic response, posted in the same thread. I feel it encourages Tiara Li to keep plagiarizing, so I was rather disappointed. Why do people think that plagiarism is an "okay" and forgivable mistake? If I stole someone's iPad, I'd go to jail. Do people really have this little respect for others' work these days? U_U

Yeah, I went back and looked it up. Apparently, Cherry Wolfie fell for the old "Oh, my evil friend/sister/cousin made me do it" line :P It's certainly sad to see people with such little regard for the work of others. I remember seeing people defend a plagiarist once, claiming it was okay for him to steal the work and telling others to stop making a big deal out of it. Amusingly, one of the rabid defenders said that the plagiarist could sue them for slander because they said mean things about him.
