/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
/recommendations:/
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
