Bisan asa na ang plagiarism, sa TB daghang mo copy then paste gikan sa google.Kita sad mga plagirist.
in a sense, yes. pero wa man tingali nato dinhiy mo-copy and paste unya angkonon nga iyaha ang ideas. we share what we read or what we know because of our readings, or because we seek affirmations of what we believe in; we do not claim them.
ideas and events are shared, not claimed, and unless one of us had come up with a eureka moment and we can claim in all honesty that it's ours, our own discovery, our own invention, that's how things will be.
if we post something about diseases, it doesn't mean that we claim to have discovered these diseases. if sir daray posts his articles about agriculture, it doesn't mean that he had discovered those plants or the techniques of planting them. if lorenz posts something about our faith in a divine being, it doesn't mean that he had been appointed by god to organize a new religion.
it is, of course, safer to cite the author and the source if one pastes the whole text, not only for fairness's sake to its author but also to protect this forum. somewhere in the internet highway is some info that websites are deemed answerable for posts that are copied and not attributed. as to who will take care of the prosecution, i do not know. the internet is still a very new player in the game of litigation.
as for our handsome but less than brilliant senator, he can be accused of plagiarism for the simple reason that he failed to attribute his words to anyone. he could have simply started his speech with something like, "sabi nga ni late u.s. senator robert f. kennedy..." just one phrase, and he could have stood taller and more credible.
