| Re: Publishers failed to spot plagiarised Austen The thing is, Scalem... publishers do have to watch for plagiarism, or they can be sued (especially in this overly litigious age...). No, they don't necessarily have to know all of Austen's work (or any other "classics", for that matter...) but it doesn't speak well for the education when no one in such a position catches on... not even the legal department.... |
