Branded by myths and legends, a global icon, a symbol of the intrepid traveller, globalization woven into a tartan.<br /><br />It has been given more names than the 91 words the Inuit use for describing snow, it’s called Chinatown-Tote or China-Bag in New York, Polen- or Türken-Koffer in Berlin, Ghana-Must-Go-Bag in Nigeria and cabas Barbès in Paris."<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/livingstandardsnet/photos/a.1021546061232501.1073741828.1018316738222100/1029465590440548/?type=3&theater<br /><br />Oh for the rich to be so bored that they must pretend to be poor.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509600130372396682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-43715069932673305632008-02-28T11:47:00.000-06:002008-02-28T11:47:00.000-06:00omg why are you guys making such a big deal of it,...omg why are you guys making such a big deal of it, here in Peru, and in almost all South America, maids use those bags to shop at markets to buy groceries or poor people uses them as a bag to keep their clothes and stuff, believe me is normaal, and the fact that louis vuitton has design a handbag with that style isnt a problemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-80648508589739910432007-06-12T09:02:00.000-05:002007-06-12T09:02:00.000-05:00Brilliant.

By showing the genesis of her illicit appropriation, perhaps she soothes the second wrong. <BR/><BR/>Puzzling. I'm bringing this up elsewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-61097167748617412302007-06-06T08:59:00.000-05:002007-06-06T08:59:00.000-05:00I'm outraged!

We must burn the Telegraph in effigy.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, I've seen my own work plagiarized recently, and entire story lifted with attribution but without permission. I think it's a trend that will get worse, not better. Our intellectual labor becomes grist for the consumerist mill.

When confronted, The Reporter acknowledges that "our researcher came across your blog"<BR/><BR/>3. Evidence is clear that the multiple passages from original blog article are included in The Reporter's article<BR/><BR/>4. Evidence shows reordering of multiple passages from the blog article<BR/><BR/>5. Evidence shows typos in original blog article are carried over uncorrected.<BR/><BR/>6. Evidence shows structural similarities between the two articles<BR/><BR/>7. Evidence shows subtle rephrasings designed to disguise the provenance. An example: <BR/><BR/>"In any case, the trend in naming is clear, these utility bags designate immigrants, refugees, or those down on their luck."<BR/><BR/>is rephrased as<BR/><BR/>"The sobriquets are telling. It is the bag of the uprooted, willingly or otherwise, of those in search of a better life who are ready to work for it, or of an easier life courtesy of others."<BR/><BR/>8. The Reporter claims distress at unfair accusation that "she certainly channeled my words and ideas" and "wholesale... lifting of said words and ideas"<BR/><BR/>9. The Reporter doesn't acknowledge 1. using words 2. using ideas 3. reordering passages 4. copying passages wholesale including typos 5. rephrasing original content to disguise provenance 6. publishing article without attribution.<BR/><BR/>10. Despite the foregoing, The Reporter tries to bargain and offers to link to article "IF" certain conditions are met. That is: The Reporter wants to attribute without acknowledging any any previous lack of attribution.<BR/><BR/>11. The Reporter claims to "refute" the allegation that words and ideas were channeled.<BR/><BR/>12. The Reporter displays no remorse for the previous lack of attribution. The only concern is that The Reporter had been accused 'most unfairly'.<BR/><BR/>If this isn't a clear case of plagiarism then I don't know what the word means.<BR/><BR/>I am uninterested in the motivation or trigger for The Reporter's article, perhaps as The Reporter suggests a Google search by The Reporter or the putative researcher landed fortuitously on my article. These things happen all the time, that is the beauty of the web. Nor indeed am I interested in the narrow-minded political viewpoint displayed therein. My only interest is in the fact that the original source was written out of the conversation and that the words and ideas were used and passed off as being those of The Reporter.<BR/><BR/>The only reason for The Reporter's apparent distress is that The Reporter was caught. One is minded of crocodiles and their tears.<BR/><BR/>The only reason for this post-facto exercise in weak and acrobatic argumentation is that The Reporter (and/or the putative researcher) was caught plagiarizing.<BR/><BR/>I still wait for the reaction of The Editors.<BR/><BR/>I hereby nominate this post for the Things Fall Apart series under the banner of Fallen Angels.Korantenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280138409675883100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-33531557927515047842007-06-05T17:43:00.000-05:002007-06-05T17:43:00.000-05:00I, too, came here from Sokari's blog.
