Let's just think, if everyone in the world took the easy way out by stealing someone else's work, and good fortune.
It is very interesting to see plagiarism is alive and well excepted in places other than educational settings. I love the net, I can copy someone else's pic's pass them off for my own, do the same with their binding legal contract, next thing I will be able to buy a medicine patent on the internet!!! So, not cool.


Passing off someone else's work as your own, whether word for word or merely the creative ideas. This can amount to copyright infringement if permission has not been obtained from the copyright owner for use of the expressive elements of the work. Even if permission is granted, putting your name on someone else's work is still plagiarism and is unethical within artistic, scientific, academic and political communities.
BTW, you are so welcome Kimberly.
You said it Mone't
