After well said and well heard on the issue of Plagiarism, Myself was on this issue, trying to be "over smart" by copying the content of other and showing professor as if it is of my own.
The problem then was, I did not realize this is illegal in academic world. Especially when you come from different culture and you are not taught at very early age about what to do and what not to do.
I think, this is quite relevant in developing world and one has to teach this idea of Plagiarism very strictly. Since we are making the content as the product and selling it, the content should be solely yours and yours alone.
Stealing of others property or other humans belonging is regarded as crime in social environment. The same idea holds good on the Internet too.
But as of the content on the Internet, it has to be properly evaluated by those who gives grade before making final judgment.
There are two types of people in the world one who create and other who steal. Those who create do not wants to get recognition and those who steal want to gain recognition by showing the property is his and his alone.
Many of the times, the same process if followed. However, it concerns every body around the globe and digital plagiarism should be minimized as far as possible.
With diversity of the Internet users, there are millions and billions of great ideas floating around. Only thing then matters is, not to copy the ideas of others and say as if, of yours own but to appreciate there valuable ideas and suggest your own.
