John Edwards is ripping me off, and what's most aggravating is that he's doing it all wrong. In May of this year, my novel, The Scandal Plan or: How to Win the Presidency by Cheating On Your Wife , was released by publisher William Morrow. It is the story of a Democratic presidential candidate, a senator from a red state, whose chances of winning in November are looking slim. His campaign, desperate to humanize their candidate and develop a winning comeback narrative, makes up a story about the senator having an affair with an over-sexed forty-something woman. The senator confesses to the fake affair, saying that he'd come clean to his wife long ago and that it was all now in the past. His wife corroborates this story and tells the press that the affair is a private matter. Does this sound familiar yet? As you might imagine, I'm quite steamed at Senator Edwards. It took me four years to write The Scandal Plan , and it was a lot of hard work. How dare he sneak in under the wire with this last-minute unoriginal extramarital affair and steal all the headlines. But I'm not just angry. Like many of you, more than anything else, I'm disappointed in the senator. I mean, it's bad enough to crib from someone else's scandal, but to do it so badly? An extramarital affair is a terrible thing, no doubt, but it doesn't have to kill your career. In fact, under the right circumstances, it can actually help. If John Edwards had taken to heart som ...

Jody Rosen 's recently Slate piece, Dude, You Stole My Article , has sparked renewed the debate in the blogosphere about Plagiarism, fair use and the link economy . Rosen recently chronicled the discovery that one of her articles had been plagiarized (four paragraphs nearly verbatim) in a small alt-weekly, The Bulletin , published outside of Houston, Texas. It turns out Rosen's Jimmy Buffet article was just the beginning - as Rosen dug through the Bulletin's archives, she quickly realized most, if not all of the articles, were mosaics of stolen prose, lifted from Slate , USA Today , The Dallas Observer , Rolling Stone , the Boston Globe , and more.   Although the Bulletin seems a clear cut case - "the greatest Plagiarism scandal in the annals of American journalism" writes Rosen - more often, bloggers and journalists are at odds when "Fair Use" borders on abuse. Tammi Marcoullier of Publishing 2.0 , recently wrote about having quotes lifted from her article without attribution, during her tenure as a Washington Post blogger. Nick Carr has been widely criticized for not including links in a recent Atlantic article, by critics who argue that mentioning an author or source (without a URL) isn't sufficient when a hyperlink is so easy. And it seems the AP controversy over Fair Use, which had the self-righteous of the blogosphere so enraged, has only just subsided. So how can journalists and bloggers play "fair"? ePluribus Media recommen ...
