I have had it done to me in college, where some plagiarized me. My former post was to show how its sadly common place, and how great supposed authors that you are taught to idolize in school, actually plagiarized! and don't get me wrong, I am not being critical of anything you said, just expanding upon it, for the sake of other readers.

You must have permission to post copy righted material. When you do have permission, all due attribution is to be posted as well. (Ex. 20:15, Lev 19:11) Is there a specific reason why you bring this up, something we should know about, or is it just a general discussion? General discussion. Its good to know how to properly use other writers material. I wasnt aware that it was in terms of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you for instance say, "Hell is paved with many good intentions." (St. Bernard Clairvaux) in your blog or writing, it is alright. But I want to let people in on a secret, Plargarism is the norm. Disney plagiarized and stole THe Lion King from Japanese animator who wrote Zimba The Lion and Pride Rock. William Shakespeare stole Hamlet from Norse Legends, stole Romeo and Juliet from the Roman and Arthurian Tristan and Isolde. J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings was taken from Norse Ring Saga. Some of the most celebrated works are actually copies of older works (even if there are varations, the fact is they don't give credit to who came up with story in first place). Right. I try to always give credit to the writer and leave a link to where I found it. I also put quatation marks around quoted material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was both mad and flatter that they thought my poem was worth stealing. Now Im curious about your poem! Perhaps you can share it sometime?

Then don't worry, if you use "" quotations and always try to live citations or links if you can, then you've done everything in your power to not plagiarize. @Omegaman 3.0 Totally understood, I thought you were just going into more detail. I appreciate that. Keep it up. Edited June 25, 2017 by Fidei Defensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
