What is
Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is the act of taking
another person's writing, conversation, song, or even idea and passing it off
as your own. This includes information from web pages, books, songs, television
shows, email messages, interviews, articles, artworks or any other medium.
Whenever you paraphrase, summarize, or take words, phrases, or sentences from
another person's work, it is necessary to indicate the source of the
information within your
paper using an internal citation. It is not enough to just list the
source in a bibliography at the end of your paper. Failing to properly quote,
cite or acknowledge someone else's words or ideas with an internal citation
is plagiarism.
Although plagiarism in some contexts is
considered theft or stealing, the concept does not exist in a legal sense.
"Plagiarism" is not mentioned in any current statute, either criminal or civil. Some cases may be
treated as unfair competition or a violation of the doctrine of moral rights. The increased availability of intellectual property due to a rise in technology has
furthered the debate as to whether copyright offences are criminal. In short,
people are asked to use the guideline, "...if you did not write it
yourself, you must give credit." Plagiarism
is not the same as copyright infringement.
While both terms may apply to a particular act, they are different concepts,
and false claims of authorship may constitute plagiarism regardless of whether
the material is protected by copyright. Copyright
infringement is a violation of the rights of a copyright holder, when material
whose use is restricted by copyright is used without consent. Plagiarism, in
contrast, is concerned with the unearned increment to the plagiarizing author's
reputation that is achieved through false claims of authorship. Thus,
plagiarism is considered a moral offense against the plagiarist's audience (for
example, a reader, listener, or teacher). Plagiarism
is also considered a moral offense against anyone who has provided the
plagiarist with a benefit in exchange for what is specifically supposed to be
original content (for example, the plagiarist's publisher, employer, or
teacher). In such cases, acts of plagiarism may sometimes also form part of a
claim for breach of the plagiarist's contract, or, if
done knowingly, for a civil wrong.
Stealing other's idea or
work is considered plagiarism because basically, you only took it from the
owner without their permission. In our generation, we, teenagers are using this
so-called "Internet" to do our homework, projects and other research
works. In line with this, we can't avoid to do the ninja moves called
"Copy-Paste" and that’s the time where we copy some work of other
person without their permission or we didn’t take credits to them.
