Chinese Kids Taught Plagiarism at School, Saber Style

Chinese children look to have been getting an early education in their nation’s uniquely advanced understanding of copyright – media have been feting a schoolboy novelist, but it did not take long before someone noticed where he had filched his cover art from…

The book was in question was reportedly written by an elementary schooler, with some of the proceeds going to charity, but more attention has focused on the similarities the cover bears to official Fate/Zero art than the precocious munificence of the author:

The contents apparently have nothing to do with Fate, and there is no indication as to whether the appropriation was the work of this highly promising young author himself or the adults who presumably at least helped him organise its printing.
