The Threat of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious and growing problem on the Web. At any moment,
anyone in the world can copy your online content and instantly paste it
onto their own site. After making minor changes, they will claim your
content as their own.
The Web is built on the hard work of honest people who
devote their time and energy to creating original content. The global
epidemic of content theft violates people's rights and discourages the
creation of new web content.
Copyscape was created as a free public service to address
this growing problem. The resources below can help you protect your
rights online and defend against the threats of plagiarism and content
theft.
