Re: Plagiarism does't pay
Although slightly off topic I'd like to add a relevant news article to this topic.
A court in Breslau has given the owner of polish publisher XXL, Marek Skierkowski, a suspended sentence of 3 months and a fine of 10000 Zloty (2250 Euro) for publishing Hitler's "Mein Kampf" without permission, whereby the copyright is held by the Freistaat Bayern.
There are further details to be found on the internet, I've only found items in German so far and don't want to spend the whole evening translating it all for you lot, so please have a look yourself.
Interesting that they published 20000 books back in 2005 and had to recall them, only 580 could be found.
