” Dench had plagiarized long sections of a Free Republic website post about “the true lesson of Thanksgiving.”

>> One speaker at Friday’s hearing, the chairwoman of the English department at the University of Southern Maine, said Dench had plagiarized long sections of a Free Republic website post about “the true lesson of Thanksgiving.”
Apparently Jane Kuenz reads FreeRepublic. Does she also post here? On what does she base her plagiarism claim? http://usm.maine.edu/faculty

“I had no idea that my posts on Free Republic were copyrighted.”
Any original writing you do is copyrighted, even if you don’t register it with the government.
However, I don’t know if FR has some fine print that would give FR the rights to any blog posts made here, I think they could do that if they wished to. Perhaps a lawyer will chime in here.
She really should have given credit where it was due, but her choice of sources is excellent.

Absolutely. You enjoy automatic copyright even without a copyright notice.

I once lifted a quote from Mark Steyn for a tagline - and didn’t have room to give attribution. When someone commented on how great the tagline was I didn’t clear up the issue. Reading a post like this is difficult.
As the Ferguson’s gentle giant’s mother would say... ‘we all make mistakes...’ On that she’s right. Repentance is good for the soul... sorry Mark Steyn I was wrong.

She plagiarized?!?! After including the following at the beginning? She cites the source, she doesn't claim it's hers.
The true lesson of Thanksgiving, as told by The Free Republic and Governor William Bradford, is that communism doesn’t work:
