What is the dierence between plagiarism and copyright infringement?
Plagiarism is (most often) a form of copyright infringement, but not all copyright infringement is plagiarism.
It is most often an infringement because in a few cases, the original author may give permission for his
or her work to be plagiarized. Nevertheless, if a person copies an idea, or a few paragraphs of a text, and
redistributes it as part of their own work, then the person has infringed on the author's right to make copies,
to make derivative works, and to distribute the work.
