Fascinating discussion of plagiarism

As an author and coach/teacher, I am following with keen interest the current discussion on plagiarism.

I just came across this fascinating article by Malcolm Gladwell about plagiarism from the New Yorker. The article is from 2004, but still very relevant. Use YouTube to listen to the various songs when he gets to the discussion about plagiarism and music.

This is relevant for leaders as Mr. Gladwell opens up the discussion about looking at something seemingly as cut-and-dried as plagiarism.

Great stuff!
