Evelyn you also know you've been in the biz too long when talking to the CVB and they don't know about that fresco or most of the other attractions.
The problem is that plagiarism doesn't sound nasty. Theft, piracy, those words suggest the seriousness of what was done. But plagiarism doesn't even seem like a white collar crime to most people.
A few days ago a professional travel writer who has blogged for Tripatini found that someone had lifted a story she'd written for one website and put it on another website -- with no permission, no payment, no nothing. Call it plagiarism or call it theft of intellectual property; I call it bad.
In yesterday's New York Times, there's a story about plagiarism on campus. Great anecdote here:
"At DePaul University, the tip-off to one student’s copying was the purple shade of several paragraphs he had lifted from the Web; when confronted by a writing tutor his professor had sent him to, he was not defensive — he just wanted to know how to change purple text to black."
These are tomorrow's editors, tomorrow's (or even today's) internet entrepreneurs. Am I wrong to find this alarming?
Thank you for the kudos. I'm glad you like the article.
