Reporting Plagiarism
Greetings,
Is there any standard of method of reporting suspected plagiarism? I was reading a recently published ebook today and I noticed a passage that seemed oddly familar (and bit out of keeping with the style of the novel). I then checked wikipedia and, low and behold, the passage seems to have been copied, with little alteration, from the wikipedia article dedicated to one of the novel's (historical) antagonists. I was going to publish this on my blog but, not wanting to be sued for libel, I decided to ask here if anyone knows what I
should do. This is a very high-profile novel from a respected publishing company, not a self-published indy book. The hardcover is selling quite well and getting good reviews.
