Linda Nyangweso’s Pregnancy Announcement Lands Her In Hot Soup

Linda Nyangweso yesterday announced that she is about to become a mother soon.

An announcement that was done with this post

“Yes, I’ll admit it, I’m really bad at keeping a secret so big! We’re having a baby! We wanted to keep it a hush hush as long as possible, but we are finally able to shout it on the rooftop! Plus size women face so much stigma & doubt over what our bodies are capable of. It’s something I feel doesn’t get enough media attention, but I hope that the next few months of my pregnancy will help change the conversation. All bodies are amazing! Thank you for the continued support in this exciting time in our lives p.s. I’m due in June #effyourbeautystandards #fatgirlshavebabiestoo”

Linda is now in trouble for sharing this post without giving credit to British plus-size model Tess Holliday who broke her pregnancy news with this post earlier  :

“Yes, it’s true!@nickhollidayco &; I are having a baby! We wanted to keep it a secret as long as possible, but we are finally able to share! Plus size women face so much stigma & doubt over what our bodies are capable of. It’s something I feel doesn’t get enough media attention, but I hope that the next few months of my pregnancy will help change the conversation. All bodies are amazing!

Now according to a contributor on eHow by the name Deborah Jones, this is what the law says about plagiarism in the UK:

The law of plagiarism constitutes a breach of copyright that is punishable in a court of law. It can result in fines of millions of dollars for high profile cases, but in many cases can be prevented by seeking and gaining permissions for use from current copyright holders. In academic institutions it is seen as a form of cheating and carries heavy penalties. In professional circles it can result in loss of professional credibility and reputation.
