Is plagiarism the sincerest form of flattery?

Junichi Saga was both cool and forgiving in his response to the news that these Bob Dylan lines were lifted almost word for word from his (obscure) novel, Confessions of a Yakuza:

I'm not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound.

Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up, And tears or not, it's too much to ask.

Saga's anwser, my friend:

Why would I sue? To take something that made people around the world happy and try to exploit it for money - that's poverty.
