I agree with you that; Samuel Slater was a very successful and talented person. "He is famous for introducing the first water-powered mill to the people of United States". Slater had an opportunity to get a new technology into the United States and was successful. But, Slater took a risk bringing this technology and had stolen the blueprints for the European machine model. Also, I have said this is my other posts that the technology was heavily based on the British models which they were using there for years. I think the plagiarism wasn't that serious back then because the way Slater had stolen the blueprint and nothing happened to him.
