i'm not sure what i think about the central role this "Turnitin" 3rd-party software played in all of this. is Turnitin a for-profit company? it looks like they are. what if a student does not want their papers stored in Turnitin's databases for perpetuity to be used in an ongoing basis to help Turnitin continue to acquire profit? i'd demand royalties for each and every time any paper of mine gets used in a comparison op.
