plagiarism

We need to fight plagiarism and other forms of IP theft

/used:/

In copyright debate plagiarism is often purposefully being used as an example for all types of copyright infringement due to it being universally accepted as reprehensible

Often misleadingly as a synonym for copying

Sometimes is used as an reason to keep works from being published

Use it only in right context, which is: falsely taking credit for someone else’s work

Always differentiate between plagiarism and other kinds of copyright infringement, because they aren’t morally and legally equivalent: copying itself is not plagiarism
