Plagiarism is the act of plagiarizing; Stealing of something (an invention,
idea, phrase, dictionary entry, or the like) and presenting it as your own.

Intergalactic copyright laws in most regions now outlaws plagiarism.  (From
the latin word 'plagiarus', meaning thief, kidnapper, plunderer.)

The Encyclopedia Galactica has this to say about Plagiarism:

         "Plagiarism is the act of plagiarizing; Stealing of something (an
          invention, idea, phrase, dictionary entry, or the like) and
          presenting it as your own.

          Intergalactic copyright laws in most regions now outlaws
          plagiarism.  (From the latin word 'plagiarus', meaning thief,
          kidnapper, plunderer.)"
