  Then credit the author. That way people who enjoy it can know where it came from and may wind up reading his books.

  So, yes. It was “stolen” as in plagiarized, since it does not provide appropriate credit.

    Then credit the author.

    The author was plagiarized by copying the genes of two parents. Credit the parents.

    That way people who enjoy it can know where the author came from and may wind up reading his parents books.

    But is this even plagiarism of Terry Pratchett? Every reply seems to mention different books and that it’s not from them. Unless this is a quote from Terry Pratchett it isn’t plagiarism. Two pieces of media can be similar and not be plagiarism.
