Default Re: Another lying, plagarizing 'author' bites the dust

This is an interesting case. Which is worse:

1. James Frey claiming he was involved in events which
didn't happen (or didn't involve him); or

2. this girl stealing passages from another person's novel?

Although Frey caused some high distress when he claimed to be
at the scene of some train accident or other, he didn't actually
pass work off as his own....so if the plagiarism is extensive,
I'd say she committed the greater intellectual infraction.
