I had a teacher in college once who gave me one chance not to make that mistake again. I think maybe I forgot to properly cite the source of a quote.
Copyright law is still a bit confusing. It’s because different companies have different rules. You can use our material if you do this and that but not if it is for that unless of course, it is for this.
It’s probably wise to have a really good editor on hand if one is going to publish a book… which I’m not in danger of.
There is fair use and satire to be considered as well. Some companies like Disney seem to go after everyone, while others aren’t so aggressive. People have taken some of my graphic designs and tried to sell them, but I don’t think anyone’s tried to sell my Wombies. Binky would not take kindly to that.

Ah, accidental plagiarism.

And I hope you passed that course!
It was over 10 years ago but I believe I did pass. Thanks!
But it was such a good report!
Teach didn’t thin so the second time around!
Hopefully, you got an A the first time that you turned it in.
I wish!
Oops. Never a dull moment here.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Dull moments wouldn’t be any fun.
Aww, Fraz. Too funny, but good try!
They tell you to reuse things but they don’t really mean it!
Why put all that effort into writing a new one when the old one is still valid. Your teacher obviously has no sense of value for older things
I know! Plus reusing stuff is greener for the environment!
Maybe the F stands for Frogs because Frogs are a sign that a lake or river is healthy
Maybe it does! Frogs are awesome!
Hee hee.
I wish my teacher only laughed!
Better luck next time Fraz, but it was a good idea nonetheless and hey, here’s a big bag of wine gums for our efforts 😲
That’s a lot more than Twink gave me!
