PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is a wrong appropriation & stealing publications of another author’s language,thougths,ideas or expressions and representing of them as ones own work.

Introduction:

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

Plagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. While both terms may apply to a particular act, they are different concepts

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.

Legal aspects:

Plagiarism is defined in multiple ways in higher education institutions and universities. For eg:-

Stanford sees plagiarism as the "use, without giving reasonable and appropriate credit to or acknowledging the author or source, of another person's original work, whether such work is made up of code, formulas, ideas, language, research, strategies, writing or other form.

Oxford College of Emory University characterizes plagiarism as the use of "a writer's ideas or phraseology without giving due credit.

Plagiarism & Codes of Ethics:

Not all thieves lurk in dark alleys and parks. Some sit with their faces lit by the glow of their computer monitors, copying, pasting, and printing.

It may seem like just another helpful source of information, but the Internet has taken the theft of “intellectual property” to a new level.

For teachers, Internet plagiarism has been especially problematic compared to “theft” from other sources. This is because it is so difficult to locate the origin of Internet material. To counter student plagiarism, Internet services designed to detect copied material have emerged to aid teachers.
