The Wrap ^ | 5-9-22 | Harper Lambert

Jumi Bello’s essay about why she had plagiarized parts of her debut novel, which had been scheduled to come out later this year, was taken down Monday after the online piece was discovered to also contain plagiarism.

The online magazine Literary Hub had published the essay, titled “I Plagiarized Parts of My Debut Novel. Here’s Why,” on Monday morning. Hours later, editors decided to pull the piece after several social media users pointed out similarities between Bello’s writing and other materials, top editor Jonny Diamond told the AP.

According to Diamond, the plagiarized sections lifted from sources detailing the history of plagiarism.

Hmmm, she plagiarized her apology from another plagiarist? Maybe it is Open Source?

Plagiarized? Sounds like something biden would do.

In fact, biden almost got kicked out of Syracuse law school for plagiarism. That is a FACT.

"Open Source" simply means that you can use it without infringing COPYRIGHT.

But its still PLAGIARISM if you claim that its your original writing.

People often confuse copyright infringement with plagiarism. The concepts overlap in some instances, but they're distinct torts. You can have one without the other.

If her publisher wants to hire me, I will rewrite all the plagiarized parts as a ghost writer.

Better still, just steal the original parts and publish them as your own.

Cool.

I’ve got good perspective and all but it sure seems like this world was put here for my suffering, work, enjoyment and entertainment. If I could make things better with sacrifice I would but I can’t.

The entertainment is beyond imagination, so much more than I expected or deserve.

Why would anyone care about anyone’s “debut” novel?

Oh, I get it.

She's some random black chick.

We all have so much to learn from them.

Probably a low IQ protected minority that thought plagiarism in the business didn’t matter. Unfortunately it does for even the most protected snowflakes. Publishers can end up paying big on those lawsuits.

Creative plagiarizing plagiarism. I’m sure she sees no humor in her endeavors.

Ghost is racist. It has a subtle subtext. One can’t help envisioning Casper, and we know what color he was.

She probably passed her phony garbage off at writer’s conferences and other gatherings of useless fools.

Plagiarism is a heteronormative concept created by white Europeans to oppress minorities. (How did I do?)
