A Thesis On Clans is an infochip published by DiamondEyes27. There is evidence that it is a plagiarized modification of DarkVaderJr's 2016 infochip, Vader's Book. The text discusses various views about LittleBigPlanet Clans, arriving to similar conclusions as DarkVaderJr's work. A transcription of the infochip can be found here.

Background

A Thesis On Clans was first published in a giveaway level made by DiamondEyes27 on June 11th, 2020. It contains a number of views that DiamondEyes holds toward organized play in LittleBigPlanet. The author strongly encourages the community not to involve themselves with clans and avoid them if possible, or to at least only participate in activities that would be harmless.

Plagiarization

A Thesis On Clans clearly is a modification of Vader's Book. The infochips are extremely similar, utilizing the same microchip names and icons, as well as the overall shape and structure of the infochip itself.

Vaders Book and Thesis on Clanning Comparison
When compared side by side, it is clear that A Thesis On Clans plagiarized Vader's Book.


The text itself has been modified from Vader's Book, but some of the original text remains. A more detailed comparison can be found in the transcriber's note of the transcription.
