Don the Con Jr. plagiarized Buckley last night

[mythology]

6. I would argue that it it is a form of plagiarism

Even if an author is citing themselves they should give attribution, especially in an instance where the actual author isn't the one reading the speech. That is even more true when there was a previous plagiarism instance at the convention. It's just needlessly sloppy.

Yes it's less of an issue than the previous incident, but it's still appropriating somebody else's words as his own without sufficiently clear attribution.
