Rrrrrrrrrrrr!
There's a significant moral difference between copying a book from the library for one's own personal use without buying it, and taking a text from such a book and publishing and claiming it as your own. there's a huge moral difference actually.
Did I imply the opposite? No. As ever, there are graduations in morality, as there are in legal measures. Plagiarism is surely one of the worst violations of someone else's intellectual property rights, and copying a book from the library for private use is not even a trifling offence but rather a tacitly tolerated practice.<
I think you did Fritz, but who cares. It was just a reading :-) BTW, my original post landed in Rizzi's box again, so the Z-list won't really know what you're talking about. (Aside: Thanks for reading my article Fritz. I'm gonna respond privately soon and take you to task for some serious misreadings :-)}
