Copyright Perspectives: No, You Stole It

[wingedearth]

This is really a bad example for copyright. Copyright law does not extend to ideas, only the expression of those ideas. If Jason uses the same ideas but expresses them differently, he has not infringed on anyone's copyrights. Jason should also avoid using the same selection and arrangement of expressions.

The term "plagiarism" may extend to more than what is under copyright law. In that regard, plagiarism may refer to actions that could be considered unethical, but not infringing.

Anyone who seriously believes I "owe" Ryan for the

ideas of "walk or bike to class", "buy food from local farms",

and "recycle as much as possible" is a COLOSSAL copyfascist douche.

That means we can keep downloading movies... As long as we remember to include the credits in the rips. Yay!

the idea of plagiarism is kinda 'POV' based and is largely very abusable. Direct plagiarism isn't good or fair, though honestly when you start to blur the lines like 'repeating' thinks you hear and see in your own way, that's a form of it, and one that can get out of control fast.

I really think plagiarism should be used for unique/created ideas/works because alot of 'that idea came from someone else' and not recognizing that it's common sense level is dangerously slippery.

So... His future self has a time machine, and he uses it to STOP himself plagiarising? If it were me, I'd be off discovering penicillin and Tutankhamen's tomb, and inventing the television.

Good idea, bad example.

Terrible example for copyright, because stupid shit like "ride a bike instead of car" isn't really taking away from someone's project because it is WAY TO KNOWN.

So, watever u read remember u do citation in your egg brain! else when u applied practically, your mind is plagiarizing!

[admiralelk]

Yes. That would be plagiarism.

What if you just put the ideas in your own words but not give the creator credit, does that still constitute as plagiarism?
