Letter: Holy rights

Published 15 February 2012

From Annette Thompson

I read with interest the interview with Isak Gerson, leader of the world’s newest religion “Kopimism”, which believes the act of copying information is holy, (14 January, p 25).

Does this mean students can now plagiarise others in their essays under the protection of their religious belief?
