I think this article would be better titled "Who cares about plagiarism in science publishing"? It gets off on the wrong foot by starting with an anecdote about Bob Dylan, when that really has nothing to do with the rest of the article. Music and science can produce very different arguments about why you should care/not care (e.g. the argument that plagiarism allows bad actors to get ahead in academia and then pollute science makes no sense with respect to folk music). Yet another case with its own set of arguments would be plagiarism in a school setting.
