IMO this is an absolute blatant lie and she probably sat there with the book copying tons of it. I don't see how she even expected to get away with this just by making the copies "ungoogleable."

She absolute should not get a movie deal or any $$ from the book and she's also quite arrogant for thinking things should basically just be fine after she makes some revisions.

When we're all dead, no one will care.

Also, in a month, no one will care.

There's already a thread about this.

Anyways, of course she is lying. I think she plagiarized specifically becuase she knew she would get caught and get tons of publicity. She is slime. She's also a marketing genius.

I wonder if she will get any money if she gets convicted...isn't this basically copyright infringement? The only good thing that is coming of this is the original author's work will get more publicity.

What the hell does a 17 y.o. have to say that is worth that kind of money? Get a life, then write about it.
