I've worked a bit in this space, porting Dr Bloomfield's WCopyfind [0] algo to js [1] for a small non profit (& other proprietary solutions). One of the harder forms of plagiarism over copy-paste issues is that of ideas. It's easy to cross reference phrases in text A to text B, but what if it's reworded in such a way that it's conceptually the same? In some areas of research this is a huge ongoing problem and although there are some small inroads being made, it's still a huge problem. It's also compounded by the issue of language translation. eg. text A (in English) was reworded in text B (in Chinese)
