Yes, I agree. It seems like most people willing to defend him - along the lines of, "Well, even if he has plagiarised, what's wrong with that? We all do it?", etc - are most concerned with cutting similar corners and maximising output. I don't want to prejudge, but it doesn't look good. I'm with you: write for pleasure, to make something meaningful, beautiful. You can still do that and have half an eye on selling and marketing, if that's important to you. I look forward to your next article!
