    In her case, taking elements of her book and regurgitating them back to her. Which sounds a lot like they could be pirating her book for training purposes to me.

      Quoting someone’s book is not “ripping off” the work.

          So you’re saying that as long as they buy 1 copy of the book, it’s all good?

            No, I’m not saying that. If she’s right and it can spit out any part of her book when asked (and someone else showed that it does that with Harry Potter), it’s plagiarism. They are profiting off of her book without compensating her. Which is a form of ripping someone off. I’m not sure what the confusion here is. If I buy someone’s book, that doesn’t give me the right to put it all online for free.

              It’s not plagiarism if it says it’s her book, lol.

              What are your feelings on public libraries? And does it spit out the entire book, or just excerpts?
