Jumi Bello was on track to be a major writer...until it was revealed that she plagiarized her debut novel...then plagiarized the apology

[basquebromance]

this story is so much deeper and crazier than its moment in The Discourse gave credit for...though i've been known to steal a joke or two from late night comics here and there lol

Jumi Bello Plagiarized her Debut Novel, then Plagiarized the Apology. What Now?

What happened to Jumi Bello is a tale as complex as anything she appropriated, she tells Johanna Berkman.

This saga is way deeper and crazier than its moment in The Discourse would seem...though i've been known to be inspired by a joke or two from late night comics from time to time lol

^^^ this is what she did. She thought that re-editing someone else's writing made it her own. That she stole her apology from a plagiarism website is even more brazen. Blaming pressure of being a first time author is weak sauce. I am sure there are people out there who will still hire her, but I doubt it will be anyone of substance.

She's black and female although black is the greater of the two.....she'll get away with whatever she does.

Any chance you can provide a link to something which doesn't require one to sign up?

She's black and female although black is the greater of the two.....she'll get away with whatever she does.

In most instances (and this would not be one of them) plagiarism isn't illegal in the United States.

She'll likely never get another publisher or agent.

What, exactly, would she be getting away with?

no

this is the only media outlet that reported it. sorry, bro!

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Her story reminds me of this:

 

[westwall]

In most instances (and this would not be one of them) plagiarism isn't illegal in the United States.

She'll likely never get another publisher or agent.

What, exactly, would she be getting away with?

Theft of another persons intellectual property for one.

 

[Canon Shooter]

Theft of another persons intellectual property for one.

How did she get away with it?

She's been exposed. Any successful career she may have had has evaporated.

What did she get away with?

 

[TheParser]

She's black and female although black is the greater of the two.....she'll get away with whatever she does.

Let's tell it as it is (gently, of course).

No one (no one!) dares to question whether a great book -- fiction or non-fiction -- was actually written by an author with that background.

People are so invested in seeing them succeed that they always give them the benefit of the doubt.

That's right TheParser You can get canned in College/university.

Is Plagiarism Illegal? Offense in School, College or the US

General plagiarism is not illegal because in most cases, it does not lead to infringement of the rights of the owner of the sourced information. However, plagiarism becomes illegal when it violates copyright laws or leads to an undue financial advantage by copying someone's content.

If a student plagiarizes their work, they can be liable to suspension, academic penalties, expulsion from the institution, fines, and incarceration in extreme plagiarism cases.

You can lose your job. For saying it is not illegal it can result in a lawsuit. It is certainly frowned upon and this woman will get another job and they won't care that she is a thief, they don't care that she is damaged goods, they don't care about any of that....she'll go to work for the left and they'll still pay her handsomely.

 

[Dekster]

no

LOL not it isn't. I read about it in the NYT's Her Novel Was Pulled for Plagiarism. Her Explanation Was, Too.

 

[Vastator]

[basquebromance]

It only doesn't matter if it is a member of the left doing it.

Hell USMB isn't above that fray. Paul Esssien was stone cold busted plagiarizing... And mods went to bat for him. He tucked tail, and disappeared for months before coming back; but still...

Nobody bitched all that much when Obumbler stole Deval Patrick’s words for the famous rhetorical “just words” moment.

Don’t tell me words don’t matter.​

I have a dream – Just words?​

We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal – Just words?​

We have nothing to fear but fear itself – Just words? Just speeches?​

It’s true that speeches don’t solve all problems.​

But what is also true is that if we can’t inspire our country to believe again, then it doesn’t matter how many policies and plans we have, and that is why I’m running for president of the United States of America.​

And that’s why we just won 8 elections straight because the American people want to believe in change again.​

Don’t tell me words don’t matter!​

— Barack Obumbler — and a wee tad tiny bit of plagiarism. Just words.
