![]() ![]() In the blog, he didn’t mention his reliance on unattributed sources (if you can even call Wikipedia a source).Īfter the Virginia Quarterly exposed him, of course he cried crocodile tears and made his mea culpa. He was shocked that Gladwell could simplify his thought so. The reviewer, Waldo Jaquith, found several dozen examples of direct and unattributed material.Īnderson wrote a rejoinder to Gladwell in his Wired Blog. There is an article and a review in the Virginia Quarterly from June 23 that shows that Anderson included material without attribution that was lifted (mostly) from Wikipedia. ![]() ![]() Anderson practices what he preaches –plagiarism, that is. He seems to believe that intellectual property inexorably is moving toward being free. In Free, he appears to be arguing against artists, musicians and writers who are so insolent, audacious and out of step with the values of the New Economy and Web 2.0, that they continue to use the outdated paradigms of actually expecting to be paid for their work. Anderson is editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine. There is a great review of this silly book in the New Yorker by Malcolm Gladwell. Some of you may have been following the mini whirlwind around the publication of Chris Anderson’s new Book: Free: The Future of a Radical Price. ![]()
