What do you know about plagiarism? What do you know about plagiarism on the internet? How do web design, the internet and plagiarism all effect each other? Explain.

I know that plagiarism is copying something of someone else's whether it is words, music, art, or ideas. On the internet people often try to plagiarize to get credit for something they did not do or use it on something of their own. Often times it is because it is not cited correctly, or cited at all; however, other times they do not cite it on purpose for other reasons. Plagiarism plays into web design directly because someone can copy something from a web site to their own and call it theirs. Without citing it they are plagiarizing someone else's work and taking it to be their own. It may be a game, image, or style. The internet is the easiest way to plagiarize because it is one of the, if not, biggest database and information can be accessed very quickly. With computers in front of us during web design, we must be aware of it and learn how not to plagiarize.
