I really don't, but you should definitiely include a paragraph on Anne Coulter's new book, which contains at least three counts of verified plagarism. Also four counts of libel. Per page.

no I wont use it its only a 750 word essay with a specific aim being why do we care that plagurisim is on the major increase , Im just curious and like to decorate my walls ( and files ) with nifty quotes.

Jack London: Call of Wild, Iron Heel.

Vladimir Nabokov: Lolita (Heinz Von Eschwege's Lolita).

Orhan Pamuk: My Name is Red (Plagiarised from Ancient Evenings of Norman Mailer), The White Castle (From a novel named "Istanbul In Era of Kanuni" of Fuad Carım).

Daniel Defoe: Robinson Crusoe. (Story named Hayy Bin Yakzan of Ibn-i Tufeyl, reminds me Robinson Crusoe. They almost have same subject.)

After catching a student plagiarising someone else's work, C. S. Lewis wrote in a letter to Alastair Fowley: "What staggers me is how any man can prefer the galley-slave labour of transcription to the freeman's work of attempting an essay on his own."

Martin Amis' description of Plagiarism "Being caught with one's hands in the word till." Is that what you were looking for?

A brief overview of Eschwege's Lolita and Nabokov's supposed "plagerism". Where exactly is the line on plagerism drawn? Are we to declare that Milton's Paradise Lost is a "plagerism" of the Bible? Is Virgil's Aenead to be seen as a mere plagerism of Homer... and then where does that place Dante's Divine Comedy, Tennyson's "Ulysses", Kazanzakis' Odyssey, etc...? Indeed, did not Shakespeare "plagerize" nearly all of his narratives?

Hm.. thing is... you copy from one thing and it's called plagiarism... You copy from lots of different things and it's an essay, poem, feature article.. Whatever floats your boat...

John Connelly just Wrote a book called The Book Of Lost Things

Heres a list of some of the things it Plagiarised:
One of the first chapters is similar to, well, one of the first chapters in Sue Townsends number ten

The Wizard of Oz

Neill Jordans Movie Company of Wolves

Grimms Fairytales but that was intentional i think.

The Movie Labyrinth

C.s.Lewis Lion the witch and the Wardrobe

Oddly enough i was very entertaining!

Mark Twain, has already been mentioned here, but you may wish, to check out further quotes by him, on the subject. There is a website, dealing specifically with his quotes.

you've got quite the agenda cuppajoe ^_^

Personally i've always wondered why they make us public school kids document so painstakingly if no one cares when a book read by millions of people (as opposed to two) is half someone else's work...

Don't even get me started on the MLA works Cited format (the only thing i've ever found to be more rediculous is government itself).
