    I actually read someone explaining that the speech wasn't plagiarized because Michelle's speech is "public domain" b/c ... gov't, I guess?

        To be clear, I am not citing this as an intelligible response. It is legally confused AND beside the point.

        Plagagiarism is a legal term. No one in the media should be using that term unless he/she is a judge or jury.

        uncredited unpermissioned use. Plagiarism.

        All words have definitions. Still -- plagiarism is a legal term. That's left for the courts -- not media and pundits

        so is "assaulted" but if I'm assaulted I use the word. Words don't solely derive meaning from legal judgements.

        Case law from assault dates back to the English crown. More established and easier to satisfy than messy plagiarism

        Probably one of those people who shares entire movies on YouTube with disclaimer "I don't claim to have made this."

        @Only4RM She lifted it. What do we care if it's public domain. Michelle is not going to litigate the lifting.

        Whether or not it's actionable doesn't change the fact that it was copied and used without acknowledgement or attribution.

        no. Not. Not even "fair use." (Our counsel says never assume fair use, always get permission.)
