Plagiarism Promoted and Defended in WELS-ELS-LCMS

Ego absolvo me,
et Districtus Popus Broken-Angelus.


See the post below on Mark Driscoll's plagiarism.

I just took a required course on how to deal with plagiarism. One form of plagiarism - changing a few words here and there, or changing the order of the material, as if that makes it original work.

Paul McCain, a Concordia Publishing House editor, plagiarizes on his blog and publishes posts thanking him for his "work" on the blog, which the item itself is 100% from another source and not cited.

His boss, who boasts a drive-by doctorate, supports this plagiarism by doing nothing about it, claiming that a blog promoting CPH books by a CPH employee has nothing to do with CPH or his maladroit stewardship of the business.
