Stealing someone’s words isn’t the same as stealing someone’s television. The original author doesn’t have to run to Best Buy to get a new paragraph.

Wow! That is some disturbing stuff! Especially with the professor who was able to continue doing his plagiarism for 30 some years! That’s just awful! How does something like that get missed for so long?
