[epub] Steal from one=Plagiarism. Steal from many=research!

[kap@xxxxxxxxxx (Price, Keith)]

From: kap@zmagic.com (Price, Keith)

It doesn't seem we can do anything about it, but griping does
seem to be therapeutic.

I tend to feel that if someone takes someone else's material and
goes rewords it point for point, simply changing the wording,
that is wrong -- and lazy.  Just as bad IMHO as copyright
infringement.  But, if the ideas are expanded upon, looked at in
a new way; if new examples are given, or additional ideas from
other sources are used, then we have an ethical use of other
people's work.

The truely ethical author will also credit the original authors
as research sources.  (very rare)
