I think a very clear cut example of - dare I say - plagiarism is the Sam Smith-Tom Petty situation, where you have a song that is flagrantly... it is the hook from one song being used for another song. To me, that was a very obvious example of plagiarism. If somebody had done that to me, I would probably take a similar course of action.

Alfred Hitchcock

With traditional publishing, books might be pulled due to plagiarism or libel - but rarely for content, and especially not without a widespread outcry.

Andrew Shaffer

Once you get into the world of dystopia, it's hard to avoid plagiarism, because other people have had such powerful visions.

Anthony Horowitz

The painter, sculptor, writer, and musician are protected by law. So are inventors. But the chef has absolutely no redress for plagiarism on his work; on the contrary, the more the latter is liked and appreciated, the more will people clamour for his recipes.

Auguste Escoffier

I know that charges of plagiarism are serious.

Charles Kuralt

Plagiarism is always the biggest thing in Hollywood.

Clint Eastwood

A major focus of 'Reality Hunger' is appropriation and plagiarism and what these terms mean. I can hardly treat the topic deeply without engaging in it. That would be like writing a book about lying and not being permitted to lie in it.

David Shields

In many senses, creativity and 'plagiarism' are nearly indivisible.

David Shields

Can you sue yourself for plagiarism? If so, then 'Old School' has presented Ivan Reitman with a case.

Evan Osnos

I firmly believe in copyrights and am put off by plagiarism.

Gautham Menon

You don't want to become guilty of plagiarism by letting someone else's words get inadvertently mixed in with your own.

George A. Moore

No, generally I think influence is used as a nice word for plagiarism.

Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.

Guy Debord

Scientific fraud, plagiarism, and ghost writing are increasingly being reported in the news media, creating the impression that misconduct has become a widespread and omnipresent evil in scientific research.

Heinrich Rohrer

Composers shouldn't think too much - it interferes with their plagiarism.
