@willymac, I am talking over your head and you think like an ant because I am talking about that and we are not on the same page because I am talking about side effects to an excess to prohibitions to the freedom of speech

Plagiarism isn't covered under freedom of speech because it is THEFT. It's that simple. Any true artist/writer/content producer with a brain in their head would understand that when you STEAL somebody's work and then call it your own, you are a fraud. If producing their own ORIGINAL content is too much like hard work then perhaps that person needs to find a job that's not so hard for them to handle.
