![]() It's not plagiarism. It's "repurposing." Source: Bleeding Cool Shia LaBeouf's weird performance art continued this weekend, with the actor apologizing to Daniel Clowes for stealing his story by writing "I'm Sorry, Daniel Clowes" in the sky. Because the situation had to get more absurd somehow, Bleeding Cool rumormonger Rich Johnston "just remembered" he had LaBeouf's email address, so he contacted him and engaged the troubled actor in waxing philosophical. The result is a bizarre conversation that you can read in full here. Here's a taste: RJ: Well, Warhol said art is what you can get away with. Gaugin went for “Art is either plagiarism or revolution”. Do you believe that opportunity is still valid, or is it all about plagiarism now? As for “it wants to be fee” – is that a Freudian slip? Information may want to be free. But should the author be able to demand a fee? SL: Authorship is censorship RJ: Jung said the only way to achieve true selfhood is to create what no one but you could possibly create and all the other stories are just guides to get us there. I think God’s rights to rivers have entered into public domain now. I don’t believe that parking violations deserve the death sentence. However fines are meant to be paid. If you park on someone else’s driveway, you should probably ask permission first. And hotwiring someone else’s car and taking it for a spin, is also frowned upon. SL: The word law is against my principles.
Fascinating stuff. On the one hand, we have Shia LaBeouf claiming that his plagiarism is really a fight for freedom, while on the other hand, we have Rich Johnston trying to convince people that he quotes philosophers in casual conversation. Boys, you're both pretty, okay? We're sure this isn't the last we've seen of LaBeouf, but, on the bright side, he's probably damaged his reputation enough that it'll be a while before he ruins any more of our favorite childhood franchises.

Dude is a rip-off artist who has gotten caught. Now he's trying to make himself the hero and victim of this story. I don't think this is over yet and when it does end, it won't be pretty. |

They all do that "Now he's trying to make himself the hero and victim of this story" thing. ![]() But, then again, they're all bullies, and that's what bullies do, more or less. In the end, it's all about cowardice. |
