LOL do you think that could stand up in a law court?

"yeah your honour, I know I stole everybody elses work, mixed it up
with un researched nonsense of my own and then copyrighted as being
all my own work but i'm not nasty and deceitful, it's everyone else
who is nasty your honour"

I realise that we all use reference sources and will always be quoting
from this and that source etc which is where I think the saying stems
from but if Imitation is the highest form of flattery, this is like
Frakensteins monster gatecrashing your own party and pretending to be you.
