Rip. Mix. Burn. Two Harvard professors are caught with unattributed remix content in their books. Piracy? Plagiarism? Of course not - it was all an oversight. The punishment? "'The discovery is the punishment,' Professor Gillers said." Sure. Let's punish students in the same way, then, or underground remix artists. Let's face it: creativity rests deeply on the work of others, and attribution is more a matter of professional courtesy than a matter of law. At least, in the world of Harvard Law professors.
