- blasdel 18y agoPlagiarism is so completely different (morally at least) from social copyright infringement.
- Gibbon 18y agoBased on what? I see no difference whatsoever.
- AlisdairO 18y agoWhat's the fundamental difference? Bloggers don't want to be plagiarised because the plagiarism destroys the remuneration that they get from their work: reputation, feedback, etc. Pay for media doesn't want to have work copied because it deprives them of their form of remuneration: money. They're both exercising control over an intellectual property so that they get something back from it. I see that there might be mild differences (for example, copying still provides some possibility of the owner getting something back, since the authorship link is retained), but fundamentally, it's the same right that is getting exercised.
