To sum things up for you, SA contributer Shmorky (all around prolific guy with roots throughout the internet) was informed about a complete plagiarism of one of his earlier works by Todd "Goliath" Goldman, the "Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them" guy.
The work in question was a Purple Pussy comic strip from 2001, here's a comparison:
It may not be the Mona Lisa, but this is a blatent ripoff! I think it's outright maddness that this sort of thing happens, but I guess it happens all the time on scales much much larger than this. Anyway, I'd hate it if anything like this ever happened to me, so I'm just raising awareness.
It's already got a thriving Digg-a-mabob, and if you're still curious there's much more info in the first link.
(Hey SE++! This is my first topic, be gentle. MAN I hope I got to this topic first. I did a search of the forum and everything!)

counter retort
how do people react
you know, when you pull out a bunch of pieces of paper and go through them for about two minutes
and then you nod to yourself and then look at them and say the line that you picked out

like 60% of his crap is cribbed from someone else and the other 40% is basically retarded

erinaceous [err-i-nay-shuhs] an adjective meaning 'like a hedgehog.' It is mostly used in a zoological sense but cries out for a figurative use to describe people with prickly or bristly manners.
well contrary to popular belief, putting a thing onto the internet does not somehow absolve it of copyright
it is a publishing medium just as viable and protected as print
the attitude that 'if you don't want things stolen, don't put them on the internet' is apologist bullshit akin to the 'she was dressed like a slut, she was asking to be raped' defense
Which I was actually called during jury duty one time.
i did not know this at all, so thank you for filling me in
i always thought that anything you released into cyberspace it was just sort of expected that people would take it and reuse it and change it and so on and so forth
Maybe you should have worn some crappier shoes!
I just want some snappy looking t shirts that arnt just logo tshirts. I go around here and see nice shits where the logo is on the side of the shirt or wrapped around it or just on a breast... not centered like most used to be.... and having not gone cloths shopping in a good year beyond office cloths i need some shit to wear while i am out with friends and shit.
but not black emo crap
like 20 shirts and they all look ok i guess, nothing more wonderful than ambercrombie... probably cheaper though.
