brian Codman and speech copying Brian Corman, valedictorian at Columbia University, has claimed his fifteen minutes of fame right out of college and it has nothing to do with his brains, perfect grades or popularity. Corman is the current talk of the web because he plagiarized part of his graduation speech from a YouTube video. That’s right – this Columbia brainiac copied one of comedian Patton Oswalt’s routines nearly verbatim from a 2006 YouTube clip. Corman’s Columbia University speech was yet another blow to Corman. When he discovered the speech on Tuesday he tweeted a sarcastic congratulatory message to Corman. Later in the day, it seems that Corman apologized to Oswalt.
Bollywood copies Hollywood Bollywood movies are often targeted for copying from Hollywood movies. Forget the music, even the scripts and screenplay of most Bollywood movies are copied from Hollywood movies. Directors like Sanjay Gupta and Vikram Bhatt are called DVD directors. Though there have been smart Bollywood lifts like Aradhna(1969), Sholay(1975) Raaz(2000), Baazigar(1993), Munnabhai MBBS(2003)Rang De Basanti(2006) and Race(2008), some Hollywood movies copy Hollywood movies scene by scene.
NYU Tech student plagiarizes NYU Tech Student plagiarism on Kick star this plagiarism happened in The Campus Movie Fest. It is a national competition for students to make 5 minutes movie and the winner would go to Hollywood and compete against other school. In 2011, the winner was 'Synchronized'. It won because of a great plot but the problem was that plot was exactly same as another short film, Replay. The director of synchronized, Mafias N Shimada created the Kick starter to raise money from his film. The creators would get money from backers. Shimada set his goal at $1700 but he got $1726 in under 90 days! After everyone knew that Synchronized was a copy of Replay, Shimada had apologized many others and especially his producing partner, Stephen Kaiser-Pendergrast. He also said that "Everything I did, I did in complete innocence, and I did not do anything with the intent to harm anybody, but given everything that has happened, I think it is appropriate to seek independent legal advice, which I am doing now."
