Copyright Perspectives: No, You Stole It

In this video, Jason is reading over a draft of a paper he's writing. He is visited by a future version of himself, who recognizes part of the paper as being directly copied from another student's project. Since Jason hasn't attributed those ideas to their source, he is guilty of plagiarism. To fix the problem, Jason revises his paper to make it obvious where he got the ideas.

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.

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

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.

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.
