Little Book of Plagiarism

by Richard A. Posner

General Collection K1485 .P67 2007

If plagiarism is, as Oscar Wilde claimed, the sincerest form of flattery, the world is teeming with flatterers. According to the worst reports, bestselling authors, bloggers, platinum-selling musicians, and Ivy League students all over the world are busy cutting, pasting, and copying somebody else’s intellectual property. With this sage little book, polymath Richard A. Posner rushes to our rescue with a strikingly straightforward examination of a legal issue that seems to grow more complicated by the day.
