maegan tells leann that she talked to the band about their performance date change in santa cruz.
later that evening, leann tells a group of mutual friends that the performance date has been changed, without citing/acknowledging where she originally obtained this information. in turn, implying she spoke to the band herself, which could be construed to some as lying.
thus, leann commited social plagiarism.
