Google doesn't claim authorship over that which they index.
Plagiarism doesn't need to be harmful for it to be bad, and my intent wasn't to harm anyone anyway. My intent was that I could use the authors exact words to pretend to make a unique take that I claimed to have authored.
- ToValueFunfetti 5mo agoI don't understand. In what way is plagiarism bad if it doesn't harm? If it were harmless to pretend you authored a unique take, how is the parent expected to react to you not harming them such that they realize it's bad?
- abustamam 5mo agoHarmless doesn't imply ethical. Plagiarism that doesn't harm is still lying.
- ToValueFunfetti 5mo agoFair enough, shame on me for assuming utilitarianism.
