And it's absolutely true that the new media really undermine intellectual property through the ease of digital duplication, manipulation, recombination. I wrote a book chapter on Cut, Copy, and Paste that finally came out just recently, arguing that those are the three ubiquitous tools that define the new media environment.<BR/><BR/>Of course, these considerations are quite distinct from the case of my poem, in which case the accuser was a complete loser (ha ha) and had no idea what he was talking about. One point of connection, though, is that there are periodic cases of genuine plagiarism, it being so easy to copy and paste, and people in the MySpace poetry blogging community get very upset and noisy about it, condemning and circling the wagons and all. And that had lead to a bit of hysteria, where this fellow seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. Some have suggested, as you implied, that he just did it to get attention, but personally I just think it's ignorance and egotism.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I like that movie, myself.Lance Stratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13033954765699126246noreply@blogger.com
