I don't believe I claimed Plagiarism is a legal term, nor is piracy in my view. I said there is a semantic difference and they both are effectively Copyright infringement - which is a legal term.
Depending on your world view and what you do; you can plagiarize and infringe, you can pirate and not break a law. This synopses should help muddle things up nicely

I do not feel that 'Documentary Realism' gives the film makers a right to lift the text from the original slides verbatim without attribution. Fair use though, I can agree with you.
- jrochkind1 12y agoIt is simply not true that "Plaguirism is effectively copyright infringement." As I tried but failed to explain! I am not sure what definition of 'piracy' you are using where it's not simply a synonym for 'copyright infringement', but I'm not really sure it matters. For better or for worse, your "world view" is pretty irrelevant in determining whether you infringed copyright or not.
