And you know you have to put this "thing" in your own work, but even changing it up doesn't change it all that much.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-55696525391369023102009-07-19T07:02:56.723+02:002009-07-19T07:02:56.723+02:00I think plagiarism is particularly prevalent on th...I think plagiarism is particularly prevalent on the web. A few bloggers I know are going through the stress of having their work copied at the moment. It's very hard to police it.<br /><br />A friend of mine who is a graphic artist has even had some of her images lifted from her own website and then has seen them for sale on someone else's site where it is claimed they are that person's work. Some people have no ethics whatsoever.

I've found a book I wrote years ago for sale in another country. It has the same title and cover art, but my name and the original publisher's name have been photoshopped off the cover.

It's nothing like you've ever turned in before. It is thorough. It makes an excellent use of vocabulary. (Dyslexic, paper resistant teen with poor typing skills sits up taller, soaking in the praise) You usually write such short papers, but this one is longer than I required. (Teen smiles, eyes sparkling) You must have spent alot of time on research to include such detail. (Teen is positively BEAMING now) What website did you lift it from? (CRUSHHHHHHH. Teen is completely deflated and gets a ZERO.)<br /><br />I love that, even though he was my ONLY student at the time, he didn't think I'd notice...groovyoldladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971936982658984234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-45919675271497552442009-07-18T09:49:00.416+02:002009-07-18T09:49:00.416+02:00Jane's call for posts on plagiarism has brough...Jane's call for posts on plagiarism has brought up many important issues.
