In which a losing battle is laughingly lost

People, mostly older, keep trying to uphold the idea of plagiarism as bad so as to impose it on people, mostly younger, who do not think in terms of intellectual material as ownable.  And then this happens.

I don't approve of plagiarism, but I'm turned off by the degree of vehemence with which some people try to enforce their morals on others.  I think there's an overall shift in progress that is going to land us somewhere else than we were with regards to the morality of information handling.
