    Yes, but it’s still wrong, if true. Plagiarism isn’t just unethical, it’s punitive in most places. I don’t see anything bad about calling it out.

      Oh absolutely. And this being in academia, they likely will lose their job over it - like that Harvard professor who was accused of a highly similar form of plagiarism (borrowing long stretches of text while failing to cite the original source material). I was pointing out the absurdity of not doing that for politicians and CEOs:-(.

      plagiarism is an academic crime.

      failing to cite a source is completely amoral.

        No, it’s also possible to be sued for plagiarism, so defacto punitive.

        I would also err on the side of ethics versus morality for something that doesn’t directly and intentionally do harm on its outset.

          this makes no sense.

          that doesnt mean its immoral.

          and as far as i can tell, its not even true. you can be sued for copyright infringement but plagiarism is not codified.
