“Another COPYRIGHT CRIMINAL prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Stealing. Borrowing. Lifting. Copy&Pasting. Using. Sampling. even ‘was INSPIRED by’ are all euphemisms for the fancy Latin based word; plagiarism. And is defined as:
“The wrongful appropriation, close imitation, or purloining and publication, of another author’s language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions, and the representation of them as one’s own original work.”
So remember recycling bottles is good.
Recycling someone’s writing is not.
Despite what some people think, the internet is not a free-for-all-take-what-you-need-copyright-free environment.
As a matter of fact if you didn’t create the essay, the photo or the video then you are STEALING if you copy/paste any part of it to your site.
Oh and by the way, back links and ‘via’ credit to the original author do not absolve you from being guilty of plagiarism.
Soooooooo…….
