Rutgers University's Paul Robeson Library has produced a four-part video that tells students not to steal one another's work and warns them that they could receive a failing grade from a course or be expelled from the university if they are caught. It's a serious message but an amusing video, with a photograph of a bobblehead professor speaking in an exaggeratedly schoolmarmish tone to students, represented by 1950s-style headshots, who respond with gasps and bulging eyeballs
Todd Goldman, (of David and Goliath tees ) the "designer" responsible for those "attitude" T-shirts that feature crude drawings with slogans such as "Boys are dumb throw rocks at them," has been accused of selling slightly modified tracings of another artist's cartoon. Sadly for Todd, lots of his "designs" are starting to look... familiar. Todd's lawyers are currently negotiating with the artist he ripped off (above) and there's been some apologizing and what not.
"Any text is woven entirely with citations, references, echoes, cultural languages, which cut across it through and through in a vast stereophony. The kernel, the soul—let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual and valuable material of all human utterances—is plagiarism.

Over the course of Jonathan Lethem's new indie rock novel, You Don't Love Me, we discover that none of Monster Eyes' songs come from one author.

One character tries to claim copyright on the songs after contributing some lyrics, and Lethem characterizes his actions as "manipulative" and "bullying."
Two McLean High School students have launched a court challenge against a California company hired by their school to catch cheaters, claiming the anti-plagiarism service violates copyright laws. "You can't take a person's work and run it through a computer and make an honest person out of them," Wade said. "My son's major objection is that he does not cheat, and this assumes he does.
As kids today plagiarize more & more from the Internet...It's time for schools & educators to recognize the truth: The term paper is dead. The problem isn't due to a dramatic decline in young people's moral character, nor the rise of the Internet & its endless bounty. The problem is that schools have relied too long & too heavily on the paper as the most significant method of evaluating students.
