Myspace: A Place for Plagiarism? (Part one)
I’ve spent much of the past day catching up on protecting my own works and handling incidents of plagiarism involving them. I have handled, literally, dozens of cases in the last 24 hours and have many more to do.
However, during all of this, I began to notice a new trend in online plagiarism, It seems that the preferred avenue for plagiarists is shifting once again. Instead of blogs or personal home pages, plagiarists are following the rest of the Web and moving more into social networking sites, the king of which is Myspace.
This presents new challenges for plagiarism fighters and opens up both new possibilities to plagiarize and new possibilities to fight back.
