It doesn't,but we all know that it is an offense. As someone who tries to write,i can tell you that it can be hard to churn out an article,but to copy paste the work of someone and not give credits is plain wrong....she makes 'average' look fine :)

I do not read the star,I do not listen to Kiss neither do I read her blogs.
And NO,she's not my 'ideal' role model but a media personality goofing just like the rest.
Where is the original author to file a suit?
Who is making noise here? Kenyans.Then what? back to routine.
You eat ur sukuma while she eats her pie.
temporary noise.

“I will not apologize or respond to nonsense that tries to imply I may have borrowed something from the internet. I borrow from everything around me--cocktail parties I go to, baby showers, I borrow from drunkards, thieves, cab drivers and my housekeeper--I borrow from the lines of songs I listen to and tweets I read and even posts on Nicki Minaj’s FB wall...I am no copy cat--I am the original and I’m different and that’s tough for some people to take.”

its a cultural thing....Plagiarism is not that big a deal in kenya... we do it all the time. Our teachers encourage it (you get better marks if you copy-paste work as long as you don't copy paste it from a book in the exam room). so its not a big deal - tunajiwekelea vitu juu. We should only embrace something that benefits us - embracing the current intellectual property regime does not! China does not! While in the west Intellectual property is a big deal - i don't see why we should limit ourselves on it.
