Plagiarism and Copyright infringement
Advertisements
Solution
Plagiarism:
- Presenting someone else’s idea or work as one’s own idea or work is called plagiarism.
- If we copy some content from the Internet but do not mention the source or the original creator, then it is considered an act of plagiarism.
- If someone derives an idea or a product from an already existing idea or product but instead presents it as a new idea, then also it is plagiarism.
- If we take contents that are open for public use, we should cite the author or source to avoid plagiarism.
Copyright infringement:
- Copyright infringement is when we use another person’s work without obtaining their permission to use it or we have not paid for it if it is being sold.
- Anything on the Internet does not mean that it is free for use.
