What is Plagiarism?
In very simple words, Plagiarism means using
someone's idea, write-up and research work
without clearly acknowledging the name,
reference and source of that original
information/ research.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the web
describes and explains Plagiarism as
"the unauthorized use or close imitation of the
language and thoughts of another author and the
representation of them as one's own original work"

COPY RIGHT
Most
jurisdictions
recognize
copyright
limitations, allowing "fair" exceptions to the
creator's exclusivity of copyright, and giving
users certain rights. The development of digital
media and computer network technologies
have prompted reinterpretation of these
exceptions, introduced new difficulties in
enforcing copyright, and inspired additional
challenges to copyright law's on philosophic
basis. Simultaneously, businesses with great
economic dependence upon copyright have
advocated the extension and expansion of
their copy rights, and sought additional legal
and technological enforcement.
