- Copyright is concerned with more than properly crediting sources. Excessive use of another's original work, even if the source is properly acknowledged, may be a copyright infringement.
- Copyright is addressed in both federal statutes and case law (legal decisions delivered by the courts). Except for some very specific statutes that apply to the results of scientific research for the government, plagiarism does not appear in federal statutes. However, it very well could be grounds for legal action, or in an academic environment, disciplinary action.
- The courts enforce copyright infringement.
Plagiarism:-
- Plagiarism comes from a Latin word for "kidnapper." Using the ideas or words of others without acknowledging the source is plagiarism. This is true even if the ideas of someone else are paraphrased or summarized. In scholarly research, plagiarism is considered unethical and dishonest.
- Plagiarism is abuse of ideas and words from the work of someone else. Copyright is only concerned with original expression. Ideas and words alone cannot be copyrighted without originality.
Schools enforce plagiarism.
There is a thin line that differentiates copyright and plagiarism, but copyright is a broader term as compared to plagiarism. You can detect a plagiarized content with the help of duplicate checker tool, but is there any tool that can help detecting copyright infringement in artwork?
