| Dec 12, 2023 at 21:39 | comment | added | Tom | @CitizenRon I did not. I posted to learn about the boundary between IP law & skill-acquisition. I'm a programmer who teaches ppl how to perform the craft, often in the context of work-for-hire -- the video editors in my Q might as well be stand-ins for me & my colleagues. I accepted user6726's answer in part because they explicitly discuss "how-to" (which smells to me like my focus) although I will confess it doesn't delve into as much detail as I wanted. Re: Blair & Devin, I have no dog in their fight, and their amicable resolution, though welcome, doesn't help me; I cited them for ripeness. | |

| Dec 12, 2023 at 18:16 | comment | added | Tom | @GregoryCurrie In defense of its appropriateness: I assumed an act was criminalized and asked about the criteria for establishing it. It turned out the act is not criminalized, although it does have significant overlap with other acts that are. I assume "is X illegal" is valid here, as would be "what are the elements of crime X" and "if a person does X, what crimes will they have committed." I skipped a few steps in there, for reasons (including ignorance), but I think on analysis this is all within bounds. | |

| Dec 11, 2023 at 4:51 | comment | added | Acccumulation | AFAIK, Blair never threatened a lawsuit. She brought motions only in the court of public opinions. | |
| Dec 10, 2023 at 4:05 | comment | added | Tom | @DaleM I'm afraid I had to ask about "plagiarism," because that was the charge being bandied about elsewhere. However, as you've explained, there is a bit of an XY problem here, and that's part of why your responses have been valuable. Thanks! | |

| Dec 9, 2023 at 14:42 | comment | added | bdb484 | OP's question is fine. If a person wants to know whether alleged acts of plagiarism is grounds for a lawsuit -- as is clearly the case here -- it seems like they need to say that in the question. And of course, the answer is sometimes, because plagiarism often amounts to a copyright violation. | |
| Dec 9, 2023 at 8:56 | comment | added | Dale M♦ | Then plagiarism has no business being in the question. It’s also not “offiside” (for whatever sport you might name) - plagiarism or offside are real things in their context; it’s just that the law isn’t their context. | |
| Dec 9, 2023 at 7:09 | comment | added | Tom | The real example is not from a school setting, nor did I imagine my hypothetical to be. Blair and Devin are (among other things) random adults who post big videos on YouTube, for which they are paid by YouTube (Google) based on views, and also advertising deals, merch, and similar things they independently seek out. | |
