Plagiarism is necessary (2020)

Plagiarism is necessary.
Progress implies it.
It holds close an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions,
erases a false idea, replaces it with the right idea.
Lautréamont, Poetry II, 1870

Plagiarism is necessary.
Progress implies it.
It holds close an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions,
erases a false idea, replaces it with the right idea.

Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle, 1967
