Kind of old news, but worth noting: pro-consumerism shill Prof. James Twitchell caught plagiarising
Edited on Sun Nov-30-08 05:50 PM by brentspeak
Twitchell, known for his http://www.latrobe.edu.au/screeningthepast/shorts/reviews/rev0300/mbbr9a.htm">effete defense of mass-consumerism, was http://www.gainesville.com/article/20080426/NEWS/757517854/1002/NEWS">busted this past Spring for lifting lines from several other authors' works -- and he had been doing it for several years. Interesting that someone who http://www.reason.com/news/show/27795.html">labels others "vulgar Marxists" for opposing mass-consumerism apparently believes that copyrighted works should be freely-shared, without attribution, within society.
