This German 17 year old, if the report is reliable, seems to have practised
wholesale plagiarism. And now the obfuscation of trendy talk about everything
belonging to everyone.
I feel for the writers stolen from.
As for poets, Eliot's 'Waste Land' is perhaps a model - borrow but acknowledge,
even though footnotes can be tedious and distracting.
Unconscious or absentminded theft remains a problem. I recall Hugh Macdiarmid
confronted with the mystery of how sentences from a TLS article turned up in a
poem of his unacknowledged.
