Chelsea Clinton ripped off an upstate author when she published her best-selling feminist kids book, She Persisted, a federal lawsuit claims.
Christopher Janes Kimberley, 56, of Albany, is suing the former first daughter and Penguin Random House for copyright infringement, seeking up to $150,000, according to the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Southern District of New York court.
I did months of painstaking research on my book. Her version looks like a ninth-grade homework assignment, he vented to The Post. I am in disbelief.

Shouldn't someone be honored to have their book stolen by the great Chelsea?

So this isn’t “ghostwriting” like the Clinton’s have used in the past?

She Persisted, published May 30, features at least three of the same quotes from inspiring historical women including Helen Keller, Harriet Tubman and Nellie Bly that appear in Kimberleys book, along with similar images, the writer claims. Quotes? So Chelsea copied your copying? Weak argument. And without looking at the two versions of the pictures I have no way of knowing if they were copied. Take it up with Chelsea's ghostwriter and publisher, because I doubt she even saw the text before it was publication ready.

Plagiarism is ok if you’re part of the leftist Cabal. Laws simply don’t matter because when lefties commit crimes, no one in the forest/media hears them.

HE had better watch his back, and hire really good security to help prevent his own death by suicide (from a .45 caliber bullet to the back of the head, whit his hands behind his back, buck-naked, in a back room somewhere).

I’m confident she wrote this, based on all the great Peabody Award winning work she did at NBC.
To: KarlInOhio
He only needs to prove the dates of his writing, research, etc. When is the big deal. If he can prove his idea was written down before Chelsea’s, he wins. I work on my computer and do printouts which are proof of my writing with dates. That makes it my copyright.

Wrong. It's a well-established principle of intellectual property law that quoting or excerpting someone else's work creates a new work subject to copyright protection. If I write and illustrate a book called "The 10 Greatest Presidential Quotations," and someone rips of my work by producing a book with the same quotes and similar illustrations, that's plagiarism.

You’re being charitable. 15 SECONDS maybe.
Which is the ass and which is the Democrat?
Does it matter.
The two words are interchangeable.
