    why not? the worst fate that can befall an author is not that someone might steal their work, but that no one will want to.

    it’s a fucking compliment.

        calling me names doesn’t change whether this is a moral issue: it’s not. it’s an academic issue.

          Academia being perfectly amoral?

          This is people’s livelihoods. That’s covered in the video you implied you watched. You fucking liar.

          It’s also resulted directly in harassment of people who did all of the work, because of course these thieving bastards will cry crocodile tears and send their manipulated fans after the big meanies accusing them of demonstrably accurate shit.

            and that’s bad. but it’s not an issue of plagiarism, it’s an altogether separate problem.

            I don’t see where anyone has lost money, except the plagiarists who removed videos or got fired.

            You fucking liar.

            when you apologize for your insult and incivility, I’ll be happy to keep explaining what a non-issue roughly 80% of this was.

        Stealing work for money is good, actually,

        this is astrawman. I didn’t and would never say this. but that’s at least partially because I would never call plagiarism “stealing”
