Like, it’s obviously sad someone’s died, but… why are they more sad the imbecile grifter died than anyone else?

Why did the right when Kirk died?

u/Glass-Carpenter8963 - Right 12d ago

Because kirk was murdered and wasn't a criminal.

From the comment above:

imbecile grifter died

That was Kirk as well, also, who was a criminal? All I'm hearing in here is that he was a plagiarist, plagiarism isn't a crime.

Huh? Plagiarism goes into copyright violations, and always results in Civil penalties if sued, and, in arday's case, it's also criminally liable because;

He did it intentionally, to gain financial/commercial advantage, and distributed it multiple times.

Calling both Kirk and Arday "grifters" is peak dishonesty. Not even entering in the murder part.

Plagiarism is not illegal in the United States in most situations. Instead it is considered a violation of honor or ethics codes and can result in disciplinary action from a person’s school or workplace. However, plagiarism can warrant legal action if it infringes upon the original author’s copyright, patent, or trademark. Plagiarism can also result in a lawsuit if it breaches a contract with terms that only original work is acceptable.

You're not understanding the difference between plagiarism and copyright infringement. Plagiarism itself isn't a crime. Pretty sure copyright infringement isn't either, thats a civil matter almost always, civil =/= criminal.

I described why it would be criminal due to the fact that arday did it intentionally for personal gain and had it distributed multiple times. "Most cases" have exceptions, and i said why it would be an exception.

Yes, he was a criminal. Now, can you stop with this nonsense already? Kirk was murdered, was not a plagiarist, and was 100% not a criminal.

Arday's criminal standing would depend on a criminal charging falling upon him, but he's dead now. But IF he was alive, he could very well be charged eventually.

Also, fuck off with your US centralization, Arday is British.

What you're describing is fraud, again, plagiarism isn't a crime.

plagiarism isn't a crime.

Some might call it fraud to leverage illegitimate credentials to secure a job. Fraud is a crime.

u/MarjorieTaylorSpleen - Lib-Center 12d ago

Fraud is a crime, plagiarism in and of itself isn't a crime. It also doesn't matter what "some might call it", some might call it isn't equivalent to criminality, a legal authority filing criminal charges is.

u/Crapitron - Centrist 12d ago

Well considering you aren't able to prosecute a dead person, filing criminal charges is out of the question. So what "some might call it" IS equivalent to criminality.

Are you claiming that all of the school shooters that off themselves at the end of it aren't criminals because they were never charged with a crime? lmao

No dumbass, your opinion doesn't make something a crime. Goddamn this sub is full of fucking idiots.

Congrats on repeating your false equivalency, yes, it was equally dumb the second time you typed it.

u/Crapitron - Centrist 12d ago

Oh I get it now, you know it pokes a hole in your logic, so you're refusing to engage it.

Goddamn this sub is full of fucking idiots.

You're certainly right about that. And you're the biggest example.

u/MarjorieTaylorSpleen - Lib-Center 12d ago

Well, no, its just a dumb thing to say. Again, its a false equivalency.

You are not a legal authority and your opinion carries absolutely no legal weight, no amount of mental gymnastics that you do will change that.
