I'm going to have to say that just changing "into the ocean" to "sucking cock" is not enough.

I didn't see the poeme, but I'm cracking up at the idea of mocking someone by changing one line in their poeme to 'sucking cock'. It's so childishly crude that there is no decent retort. Genius.

It really is pretty well done in a "I'm going to be as difficult as possible with the least amount of effort" sort of way. really annoying. I'm going with Negativland's idea of "Fair Use" here, unless someone wants to break out lawyers. (http://www.negativland.com/fairuse.html)

I don't particularly want to see the poeme reinstated, but surely plagiarism involves trying to pass off someone else's work as your own, which he clearly isn't doing. I'd more call it "mocking someone through the medium of replacing one line in their poeme with an obscenity". If he'd posted the exact same thing in a comment on the original, would you call it plagiarism?

It's a fine line, in my opinion. I left others he did. Seriously, I recommend you read the original, and then change half of the last line and see if it looks like anything but a small penis pasted on in the bottom right corner of a large poster. "not greater than the sum of its parts"

Of course it is only an obvious attempt to exact revenge that has made him(being ASTRO Glide in this context) look like a bigger idiot. Except to maybe you nentwind. And fair use or not, I have some lovely lawyers who are quite the sharks when it comes to this sort of thing. But such is life. Let the kiddies have there fun.
