	Denis Dutton on Forgery and Plagiarism
		Because plagiarism involves theft of another’s work, rather than attributiing one’s own work to a famous artist or writer, it tends to be less important to the literary historian.
		Since plagiarism involves the theft of content of a work, rather than the theft of the author’s name, it is less philosophically interesting, though even more legally ambiguous and complicated.
