Yesterday, Shia LaBeouf tweeted this pro-plagiarism screed:
we used to sit in a circle around a campfire
and tell stories and share them
and change them and own them together
because they were ours
— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) January 7, 2014now our stories are owned for profit
we buy corporate property
and call it our culture
enriching others
as we deplete ourselves
— Shia LaBeouf (@thecampaignbook) January 7, 2014Bleeding Cool reports that these tweets (and another one in which LaBeouf's claimed to be working on another short film plagiarized directly from Clowes's book David Boring) inspired Clowes's lawyers to take further action, writing to LaBeouf's agent that "your client is seriously out of control."
