Plagiarism: Don't Do It

Watching this video for Ms. Dietzer's English Comp I class at SPC.

lol i wrote a report and i used some vocab words from my grammar book and the teacher thought it was plagiarized so i got a 0...FML

don't forget that whatever someone plagiarizes is something that the creator most likely put alot of time and effort into...

plagirism is a victimless crime. nothing bad will happen, unless you get caught, but thats a different story.

Ah. But is this video plagiarism?

HA HA HA!
Funny as hell.

What if after 15 years someone finds out that a lwayer plagiarised his dissertation? Could he lose his law degree based upon his plagiarism in obtaining this? Any help would be great as I have caught me a bad lawyer and want to expose him. My position is IF they cheated then the law school diploma is bogus and if it is bogus then they are not lawyers which means that every instance of practicing law was done so without a lawful license. That was my angle for this fat cat crook.

fucking left wing pinko's like you are whats wrong with this planet, i bet you were the kind of cunt that dobbed in your siblings for stealing cookies to, go fuck yourself!

hahah a tad extreme...it really depends on what you did and what the paper was for.

No, you cannot go to jail for plagiarizing. That is just a lie told to you by those megalomaniacal teachers out there. At most, one could get sued for plagiarizing, which would make it a civil matter, not a criminal matter. Ergo, you wouldn't go to jail at all, just pay a whole lot of money. But in a school setting, the most that could happen to you would be getting a failing grade for the class you committed plagiarism in and/or expulsion from the school you are attending.
