Incorrect.

Plagiarism is always a crime, either a misdemeanor or a felony. Whether or not someone is legally prosecuted

for it or not is no measure of whether or not it's a crime. Similarly, jaywalking and speeding are often not legally

prosecuted, but they're still crimes when that happens.

http://www.turnitin.com/research_site/e_wh...plagiarism.html

""Most cases of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere between $100 and $50,000 -- and up to one year in jail.

Plagiarism can also be considered a FELONY under certain state and federal laws. For example, if a plagiarist copies and earns more than $2,500 from copyrighted material, he or she may face up to $250,000 in fines and up to ten years in jail."

So, plagiarism in itself IS illegal.

Notice in that article it mentions Intellectual Property, copyright laws and other such minor legal matters. If something is not under copyright or under intellectual property rights, it is not illegal. immoral yes but illegal no.

I know we are nit-picking but that's how lawyers do so let's pretend we're lawyers and nit-pick.

Theses days a copyright is not necessary. If I write some code for a function in software and find that someone used that code and made gobs of money I could sue them for Intellectual property rights infringement. I don't have to copyright software code as long as I could prove that code is identical to mine and mine predated theirs. This is where Intellectual Property Rights come in. I would then reap the benefits if the Court ruled in my favor. Would they go to jail? I doubt it unless the state prosecuted them for fraud. I can't prosecute them for fraud only the state or federal Gov. could here in USA. Otherwise George Harrison would be a felon since he was found guilty of copyright infringement for "My Sweet Lord" and as far as I know he wasn't prosecuted for fraud therefore it wasn't criminal but civil action as far as the state was concerned.

hmmmm

which of my two WOW years was worse. I would have to say the second which was 75-76 in Mesa Arizona. So I won't talk about that one.

6 months after taking the class I went WOW to Ellensburgh Wa. GriffP if you read this you prolly figured out who I am, and Marc I know you have . I don't know where to start on this. whether talking about the extremely authoritarian (sp) WOW coordinator who scared my WOW sister ( and Fiancee) so much we had to call the Limb co-ordinator to minister to her since she didn't trust any1else. Or my 2 WOW sisters leaving during the year and making it just me and him. Almost 35 yrs ago and it's hard to believe I still hold on to those things. That year we were supposed to do 6 months in one area and 6 months in another. We never made it to the other. It took one year to run one class of 4 ppl so of course I figured we were the lowest of believers. At This time I can say no more. It'll take time to put that year together in a more coherent form.

Ok here goes,

"They say that all good things must go some day autumn leaves must fall"

song, author, and year

John

oops I meant artist not author

Well, not sure so I'll wait for confirmation, even though I do have one in the far reccesses of my mind I could drag up I suppose.

So what are the rules wait for confirmation then I ask or what? Inquiring minds want to know!

HenryVIII Hermans Hermits

Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me

She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call

'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie

She's the only one who'd phone me here from........................

Now don't answer too quickly.. there is an anomaly in the lyric that makes this version (title and artist) distinct

It isn't Memphis, Tennessee by Chuck berry??????

Plagiarism in itself is not illegal. Copyright infringement or intellectual property rights infringement are. Schools have not won a law suit against a student because they weren't the ones harmed. The owner of the copyright or intellectual property are the ones harmed. It's the same as me listening to a cover song and then suing the performer because he/she didn't acknowledge that it was a cover and therefore I was harmed. No where in the US Code of Laws does it mention plagiarism.

Pond,

While in college before I got involved in TWI I said that same thing to a very dear friend of mine. His response was the best I've ever heard. his response was " If your leg is broken you need a crutch". Only those that are looking can ever find God.

trying to get in touch with K*nt and Gi**y Ov*rakers are they still around Seattle from the early 80's?
