Plagiarism: Maybe it’s not so bad (2013) On the media podcast. http://wny.cc/1dNVisf
Pretchel, J. (2014) Now Shia LaBeouf is plagiarizing Kenneth Goldsmith. Gapers Block. http://bit.ly/1iLsSHs
• Kenneth Goldsmith suggests that music and art are built on plagiarism, and now the internet is making that possible for text. What do you think of his philosophy and the implications of “patchwriting”?
• So, Shia LaBeouf is plagiarizing Kenneth Goldsmith, whose work is all about creative plagiarism. What makes some plagiarism “wrong” or “right”?

The wrong way to paraphrase:Failure to Cite Source Original “They desire, for
example, virtue and the absence of vice, no less really than pleasure and the absence of pain.”
Source: Mill, John Stuart. “Utilitarianism.” On Liberty and Other Essays. New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Quote is from page 169.
Paraphrase People want
morality just as much as they want happiness.
The wrong way to paraphrase:Lack of Significant Rewording Original “To the young
American architects who made the pilgrimage, the most dazzling figure of all was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School.”
Source: Wolfe, Tom. From Bauhaus to Our House. New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1981. Quote is from page 10.

architects who went to Germany, the most dazzling figure was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School (Wolfe, 1981).

Special cases If you have more than one author with
the same last name, use the first initial in the citation (Smith, A., 2002)
