criminal art?

I have always been rather fascinated by the notion of plagiarism.  and am kind of delighted that (of course) my student idea of writing an essay made up entirely of stolen quotes is not new! And in the 80's I loved the whole sampling plagiarising debate in music.  So here is someone who has put it all together in a book.  I like it.  How to Steal Like and Artist.
