It's Been Five Minutes, and Shia LaBeouf is Already Being Accused of More Plagiarism
Yesterday we told you about Shia LaBeouf apologizing for (being caught) using ideas and entire word-for-word passages from graphic novel writer Daniel Clowes‘ story “Justin M. Damiano” in his new short film“HowardCantour.com” without permission. Not even 24 hours later, we bring you news that the actor is being accused of more plagiarism, not only in his past works, but even in his apology for said plagiarism.
Seriously.
It seems some of the apologetic tweets that the actor sent out on Tuesday were strangely reminiscent of mea culpas delivered by celebrities like Tiger Woods and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
Plagiarizing apologies to apologize for plagiarizing? We feel like we just fell down the spiraling vortex of an intellectual property rabbit hole.
