News at Eleven (Back Page): ". . . Of the 152 lines in An Equal Voice,

"There is a further issue. My work can be lazily ripped off like this, without any recompense--what did The Guardian pay [Andrew] Motion for copying out my research? Yet every time I quote a line of poetry in a book, I have to pay. . ." --[Ben Shephard]

from The Times: So what if I copied work says Sir Andrew Motion, Shakespeare did all the time
