Far be it from me to think Mirek is correct about ANYTHING - but - IMO, he is correct when he notes that there is apparently no honor amongst publishers and editors.

My former partner, Ron Garmon, had an entire interview - verbatim - lifted by THE DARK SIDE. It was an interview with Tiffany Shepis. There was one difference. They tagged on a line at the end that made her sound like a little tramp, which Tiff is decidedly not. This added insult to thievery. I moved heaven and earth to get SOME sort of recognition/compensation - something! Not a damned thing was ever said, printed or acknowledged.

It's a violation as disturbing as if someone broke into the house and took your goodies.

Unless you've been the victim of plagiarism, I guess you just don't get it.
