To me plagiarism is copying/re-doing someone else’s work
(art, music, choreography ect.) without giving the original author or artist
their credit to that original work. Plagiarism is copying the entire piece and passing
it off as your own whereas copyright violation is using the entire piece, you
cite the information but you can still get in trouble for using someone else’s
work. When a student passes off a paper and cites each author but takes the
entire paper from the original author that is Plagiarism. When an artist buys
the writes to a song but does not give the original writer the credit it is
Copyright.
I agree that plagiarism can include art, music, and even choreography!
ReplyDeleteYeah I believe that you always have to give credit where credit is due. You just cannot take someone's work and pass it off as your own eventually you will be caught. I agree with you examples that you use. The best way to stay away from plagiarism and copyright violation is just cite your work and give credit to the original author.
ReplyDeletePlagiarism is all about giving credit, but copyright has to do with making and distributing copies.
ReplyDeleteSo, plagiarism without copyright violation would be if a student purchased a term paper online. They paid for the right to copy and distribute that paper, but are taking credit for someone else's work.
When an artist buys the rights to a song but does not give the original author credit, that's also plagiarism but not copyright violation.
An example of copyright violation that is not plagiarism would be if the artist performs someone else's song, gives credit to the original artist, but does not pay for permission to perform that song.
