Plagiarism is a great analogy. It's great because what we call plagiarism in academic setting, in the real world work we call collaboration, cooperation, standing on the shoulders of giants, not reinventing the wheel, getting shit done, and such.
In academia, if a result is quoted, this is called called "scholarship". If, on the other hand, you simply copy-paste something without giving a proper reference, it's "plagiarism".
