Plagiarism: Maybe it’s not so bad

Pretchel, J. (2014) Now Shia LaBeouf is
plagiarizing Kenneth Goldsmith.
Gapers Block. http://bit.ly/1iLsSHs
• Kenneth Goldsmith suggests that music and art are built on
plagiarism, and now the internet is making that possible for text.
What do you think of his philosophy and the implications of
“patchwriting”?
• So, Shia LaBeouf is plagiarizing Kenneth Goldsmith, whose work is
all about creative plagiarism. What makes some plagiarism
“wrong” or “right”?
