The #Hbomerguy video about #plagiarism on #youtube has had me thinking about the issue of plagiarism in the creative #WritingCommunity.
It was never bought up as an issue in my #CreativeWriting uni course, but does anyone know how big an issue it is for #writers submitting to #LitMags? Does anyone have examples of author’s works being stolen? What can #authors do to protect themselves?
This also ties in to generative #AI and the the threat it poses to #artists.
@ElisRowlands I’ve had my nonfiction work plagiarised a few times, and the results weren’t pretty. Typically the plagiarisers will just throw your work through an AI and put the resulting garbage on a monestised blog. It’s annoying but it’s just one of those things and not worth stressing about.
I can’t imagine it happens as much with fiction/poetry and I doubt plagiarisers would be targeting lit mags.
