Yes it's a crappy thing to do, and you shouldn't do it, and you certainly shouldn't do it over and over and over .... but if in the course of reviewing a movie I wrote a three- or four-sentence synopsis, and later I noticed it turned up somewhere else... Well, first of all, I don't even think I'd notice. But if I did, I wouldn't be upset. I'd just think to myself, "Ya lazy so-and-so...!" But ... so what? I mean, how much different could somebody else's three-sentence synopsis of MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL be from mine? Once you get into stealing other people's analysis and "Making Of" info and stuff like that, then yeah, plagiarism mega-stinks.
