  1. 4/19/07 - Copy This Book — Jonathan Lethem on Life as a Copyfighter -
    Added Apr 23, 2007 by katiebda
    Over the course of Jonathan Lethem's new indie rock novel, You Don't Love Me, we discover that none of Monster Eyes' songs come from one author. They're cobbled together out of pop culture, history, conversations & the ephemera of everyday life. One character tries to claim copyright on the songs after contributing some lyrics, and Lethem characterizes his actions as "manipulative" and "bullying."

    As kids today plagiarize more & more from the Internet...It's time for schools & educators to recognize the truth: The term paper is dead. The problem isn't due to a dramatic decline in young people's moral character, nor the rise of the Internet & its endless bounty. The problem is that schools have relied too long & too heavily on the paper as the most significant method of evaluating students.
