Plagiarism 2.0: Information Ethics in the Digital Age (21:36)
For a generation raised on the ideology of “open source” and the ability to quickly cut and paste, the concept of plagiarism may seem foreign or passé. And that, of course, can lead to trouble.

College Plagiarism (2:34)

Cyberspace: Academic Dishonesty (2:07)
Though plagiarism and cheating in school has been around for centuries, today's new technology leads to new ways of cheating. Many students copy articles directly from the Internet and pass the work off as their own. -
Information Ethics (7:32)
Plagiarism is copying or paraphrasing someone else's work and submitting it as your own. Copyright infringement is using another's work without permission, creating a derivative work, or distributing or displaying another's work. Learn about exceptions like common knowledge, fair use, and public domain.
