NPR and Scholarly Article Response

Both the Scholarly Article and NPR broadcast have many things in common. The NPR broadcast talks about music sampling, which is a technique many artist use to create a new song. Sampling is the act of taking bits and pieces of a song or songs and then using it in one of their own songs. That can be related to plagiarism in some ways. During the broadcast, the commentators talk about the never ending battle with the record companies and copyright laws. In the scholarly article I read, it talks about plagiarism and the different punishments dealing with it. I found the professors handling plagiarism in the article can be related to the record companies dealing with music sampling. Both are wrong but with the internet, both will continue to happen.
