    You would say this directly to Brian Deer’s face?

      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.

        Stealing work for money is good, actually, says user named commie.

        Jackass.

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

          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.

                That’s still covered in the video you lied about watching, no matter who you go tattling to when someone points it out. You wanna know? Go find out. You wanna pretend you know, then demand someone explain it to you? Sit and spin.

              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.

                Either you care or you don’t.

                You obviously don’t.
