 WARNING AGAINST PLAGIARISM
• Plagiarism is theft. It disrespects the content creator by stealing
their content, often changing it, and doing so in such a way that the
thief implies they are the creator. It often benefits the thief personally,
career-wise and I or commercially and it violates the Fair Use
Doctrine. Plagiarism is nothing but academic fraud.
• Piracy consists of file sharing, storage, publicity and promotion for
free. It respects the content creator by promoting the content creator
and the content intact, distributing it widely and storing it in a
historical archive in much the same ways that public libraries do.
Pirates just do it in a cyber-environment.
