Fresh Dupings Looped and Looted

The young are taught to solict and provide,
Fresh dupings looped and looted!
Whether clipped on,
Or cut and paste...
They revel in success.
No matter who is plagiarized.
From words lifted from books...
Or musical beats,
With hooks to seduce...
A dollar from a pocket!

Originality?
The process takes too long.
Thief is awarded.
And the practice is strong.
The only thing that is wrong about this...
The creators they steal from may still exist!
However...
They do not earn a cent,
Or profit from it.
