BOTOH, she might take the Steven Spielberg argument and say that when you are writing about historical facts (Amistad) the facts are in
the public domain. He won his plagiarism case.

She pretty much took "her" book word for word from somebody's doctoral dissertation. TLS published lengthy extracts from both; no doubt about it. In the end the case was settled out of court in favor of the plaintiff, presumably for a large sum. One of the terms of the agreement was that the plaintiff not talk about the case, so the details were not made public.

I can't blame the victim in this case. Anybody wanna plagiarize my stuff? GREAT! I'll settle outta court for a coupla million and never say a WORD.
