“This heres a story about billy joe and bobbie sue
Two young lovers with nothin better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old el paso
Thats where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie sue took the money and run”
So that was the lyrics for Steve Miller Band’s “Take the Money and Run”. a song i have listened to frequently for the last couple of days.
There’s this thing called plagiarism. It’s out there, everyone knows what it is and everyone’s heard of it. But you never think that it’ll happen to you. I read fanfiction and write it. If you just disclaim the characters and things the plot is often your own work, right? If it’s not a parody or something like that of course. An author whose work is amazing and I've been reading recently got plagiarised. It’s terrible…I don’t understand how someone can literally steal someone else's work and claim it to be their own. And think that they will get some kind of credit for it. I think it’s sick.
But enough ranting…See you when I see you…
