For those turned off by the title TL;DR musician Courtney Love eloquently walks through the math of the recording industry for an artist, details some serious pain and problems in the system, calls out the RIAA for blatant theft of copyright and laws passed in the middle of the night, and explains why she's stepping out of major labels.



...and plagiarizes Steve Albini:

That's a very negative take on it. The second person to object to SOPA wasn't plagiarising the first.

They're making the same point using a similar argument but that's very different to plagiarism.


I don't see it. Can you point out similar passages?


Well, for one, compare Love's entire first section to the table at the end of Albini's essay.


Either you haven't read both articles or you need to refresh your memory on what plagiarism is, because this isn't even close.


great finding! thanks!
