Writing is copy-and-pasted without attribution onto new websites, pictures are reposted with any credits, and all the world\u2019s content is freely available. And that\u2019s not conceptualized as a problem; such theft is an inherent quality of the medium.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rogerclarke.com\/II\/IWtbF.html\">Information wants to be free<\/a>, and Web culture is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/remix.lessig.org\/\">remix culture<\/a>. The Web is collaborative, anonymous, tolerant of failure as long as it gets corrected. Zakaria\u2019s copy-and-paste was a fireable offense, but the entire structure of the Web mediasphere was built on just such copy-and-pastes. Someone will call you on it if you don\u2019t give credit, but then you just revise the post and maybe print a correction and no one really cares too much. What matters, instead, is the faith you\u2019ve built up online, which such a sin will damage but hardly kill, especially if you handle it right. The Web, and the generation who grew up with it,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/Commentary\/Opinion\/2010\/0219\/Posner-Kouwe-and-Hegemann-old-school-vs.-new-school-attitudes-about-plagiarism\">think about plagiarism very differently<\/a>\u00a0than do the keepers of journalistic ethics. Helene Hegemann, a 17-year-old German writer who was discovered to have\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/02\/12\/world\/europe\/12germany.html\">lifted numerous passages of her debut novel from other sources without attribution<\/a>, responded to these revelations not with an apology but with a shrug.
