What is Plagiarism?

Sounds so complicated!

Hmm…?

By definition plagiarism is:

“The appropriation of another person’s ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.”

http://www.siam.org/books/plagiarism.php

In other words:

“It is to take someone's words

or ideas as if they were your own!”

“or a piece of writing that has been copied from someone

else and is presented as being your own work!”

What is Copyright?

Maybe it’s when you copy?

…and what about the word “right”?

By definition copyright is:

“The exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or

musical material, and to authorize others to do the

same.”

https://www.google.com/#q=copyright+definition&safe=active

In other words:

What that means is that only you have the right or give permission to do any of the following with your work:

•make copies of your work;•give out copies of your work; •perform your work in plays, films, dances, etc… •display your work on TV, internet, presentations, etc…•make changes to your work.

In general, it is illegal for anyone to do any of the things listed above with a work created by you without your permission, but there are some exceptions and limitations to your rights. One major limitation is the doctrine of “Fair Use.”

Copyright is a type of protection given to the authors or creators of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual works

What is Right to Privacy?

Hmm..? …too confusing!

By definition right to privacy is:

“Right to be free of unsanctioned intrusion.”

In other words:

“You have the right to be left alone in your own

privacy.”

What is Challenged Materials?

Sounds like a challenge!!!!

…yea but to what?!
