intellectual property
[the law] forms an airtight protective seal around the brand, allowing it
to brand us, but prohibiting us from so much as scuffing it
(Klein, 2000: 176)
plagiarism: good or bad?
whether theft, lie, fraud, freeloading, deafness to the voice of God,
cultural vandalism, or whatever combination, plagiarism is a
falsification of self

assessment
by its nature plagiarism threatens the value and integrity of what is
being taught. It threatens students’ engagement with
learning and, unless addressed, could undermine the worth of
awards students earn (Carroll, 2002: 13-14)
ignorance is bliss!
reporting a plagiarizer and filing charges against a student can be a painful, time-
consuming experience for faculty . . . the worst course of action is to turn a blind eye to students who plagiarize.
Ignoring plagiarism undermines the value of education, it undermines the
university, and it undermines the academic community
(University of Alberta, nd)
