For a non-academic example did you see my 1998 C++ book in Romanian? Same content as orig, different author names. I tracked the culprits down, and they atoned for their sins. Sua culpa.

Pappa Popovici was involved as well. I think the family ties were very strong.

QuoteOriginally posted by: ppauperIn general, if you do come across actual plagiarism, writing to the editor of the journal where the plagiarist published the article might be a first stepIt's not a fight I would want to take, mainly for two reasons: 1. Plagiarism is a declaration of total mental bankruptcy. If one has to copy stuff chances are that scientist sucks and is really no competition for you anyways. I consider it below my dignity to engage in mud fights which such people.2. Everybody hates a snitch. Everybody.So -IF this is a valid case of plagiarism- I think the way to go is to sneer at that sucker, then move on.

QuoteOriginally posted by: CrashedMint2. Everybody hates a snitch. Everybody.Indeed! And that's why we have so much corruption. The tendency for people to create tight sub-communities/cliques/in-groups and strongly encourage loyalty to that subgroup over loyalty to a larger group is what enables all manner of conspiracies, frauds, and subverted legal process to occur.

My song parodies are a form of plagiarism and I stole quotes from Martin Heidegger for my own nefarious purposes yesterday.Not for the first time that I have borrowed freely from a great philosopher either.So sue me! Or else Romanes bellicoses eunt domus!

You may use any or all of that statement, with or without attribution to me, (or to MP in the case of the last sentence.)
