"Company in tobacco industry that tries to get children addicted plagiarizes slides"
Relatively nice journalism by Buzzfeed, but I think there are better topics to report on Juul if you're appealing to ethics.
- catalogia 7y agoIt all goes towards painting a more complete picture of the company. Stories like this wouldn't mean much in isolation but it strengthens the greater narrative of Juul being a unethical corporation.
- chottocharaii 7y agoIt seems you didn't read the article closely. They didn't just plagiarize the slides, they neutered them, and then attempted to pass them off as Stanford endorsed research; all without permission from the author.
- allovernow 7y ago> they neutered them So they're derivative works of PPT slides? Does that count as theft? How much do you need to change a slide before it's a new work? >attempted to pass them off as Stanford endorsed research As in falsifying a conclusion or reinterpreting the data?
- pesfandiar 7y agoI did read the article. All that is just a more unethical strain of plagiarism to me. I however agree with the other comment below that this report could go toward painting a full picture of what kind of company we're dealing with.
