(11.12.09 Writer's Notebook)
Today, I read a blog post about plagiarism. It revealed the top ten plagiarism scandals of all time. Here is a couple that caught my eye.
The thought of J.D California’s Coming Through the Rye, supposedly a parody of J.D Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, seemed deliciously hilarious to me, since I love The Catcher in the Rye. J.D Salinger, however did not find the parody funny, because he sued! The book won’t be sold in the U.S, but is already being sold in England.
It’s a little sad and shocking that someone as intelligent as Barack Obama has to copy someone else’s speech. At least he was noble enough to admit his fault.
