Comment on The ethics of recycling content: Jonah Lehrer accused of self-plagiarism

Comments

I don't get why this matters to me, the reader. If he writes well and I learn something, why would I care if he wrote about it before.

Well, I don't imagine it would matter much to the reader. There are people who say it's not right for him to do it, but who it really matters to are the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, depending on who owns the rights to Jonah Lehrer's writings while he was at the New Yorker.
