진중권 교수가 논문 표절의혹을 제기한 변희재 미디어워치 대표를 고소하겠다는 입장을 밝혔다.
변 대표는 지난 12일 트위터에 “진중권이 일본책을 통으로 갖다 베낀 게 적발됐나보군요. 충분히 예상했던 일로써 6월 말까지 자백하길 바랍니다”라고 글을 올렸다.
이에 대해 진 교수는 “변호사 선임했습니다. 이번에는 민사로만 가지만, 또다시 정치적 동기에서 남의 논문 뒤지는 거 계속할 경우 형사도 넣을 겁니다”고 말했다. 진 교수는 자신의 논문 원문과 참고문헌을 확인할 수 있는 링크도 트위터에 게재했다.
그는 또 변 대표를 상대로 1억짜리 민사소송을 제기하겠다며 강경한 입장을 밝혔다.
변 대표는 이전에도 손석희 JTBC 보도국 사장과 조국 서울대 법대 교수가 논문을 표절했다고 주장한 바 있다.

Chin denies plagiarism allegation
Liberal political critic Chin Jung-kwon said that he would take legal action against conservative political commenter Byun Hee-jae, who accused him of plagiarism.
Byun claimed that Chin, 51, plagiarized a book on Soviet literary scholar Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman for his master’s thesis in 1992. Byun tweeted on Wednesday that he already expected Chin would face trouble over the book, calling on him to admit his wrongdoing.
In response, Chin threatened to file a suit seeking 100 million won ($88,100) in compensation. He also made public the original copy of his paper and bibliography via Twitter.
“I hired a lawyer,” Chin said. “It will be a civil suit this time but if he continues to search through other people’s papers with a political motivation, then I will initiate criminal proceedings.”
Byun previously claimed that liberal law professor Cho Guk and cable channel JTBC’s executive Sohn Suk-hee published plagiarized papers.
