How do you define whether a work is plagiarism or borrowing?

Many people may be able to name different standards, but there is one that still has considerable credibility: the court has ruled it.

If the plot of a work has more than three similarities, or even directly applies similar rhetoric from others, then it is plagiarism; If you see an article that uses someone else's point of view and gives credit to the source, you are borrowing from someone else's work.

I don't know how the official definition is, but if there is a paragraph that is as good as others, it must be plagiarism, and then in terms of character building, if the two characters in the two books are similar regardless of personal preferences or dress styles, and even looks and ages, it must be plagiarism and not reference, and in terms of story, except for some rotten street routines, any ingenious story should be regarded as plagiarism rather than reference when the second one appears.

When a work is created, it should be eye-catching and impressive. This necessarily requires a condition, and that is creation, an idea, a distinctive idea. In the case of plagiarism, it is to transfer the feature to one's own work as it is intact or very similar, and treat it as one's own creation.

Borrowing is to expand on this idea, to make it better or worse, and then to use it as your own work. Plagiarism is not about a specific part, but whether it steals the soul of someone else's work as its own.

The field of literary creation is not good at using the standards of academic writing. I think that in the creation or lyric writing, if there is indeed a reference, it should be explained. If the structure or ideas are similar, it is understandable that it can be explained from a probabilistic point of view.

But at first glance, I feel that I took the original work and put it aside, and then copied it while changing it, and then claimed that it was my original work, This phenomenon is not called plagiarism.

The source of defined plagiarism must have one thing in common, and that is creativity. The things that are created with a unique personality are the author's unique style, so they will feel the same when they are plagiarized.

At the beginning, it was an original thing, but it was slowly popularized, such as the example of the Matrix Neo I cited, it must be originality, originality, but then it was imitated, this kind of is actually plagiarism, but if the source is indicated, it is considered a reference.

There are two types of plagiarism: the first is to directly copy someone else's words to make others think that you said it; The second is to copy other people's ideas so that the reader thinks that you have to be original. In formal academic writing, both of these types of plagiarism are of a very serious nature.

The second type of plagiarism is easy to identify. And the first kind of plagiarism, in academic writing, only needs to state the ** or inspiration of the idea.

Copying the original text is plagiarism, and quoting ideas to express them in one's own language is called borrowing.

I vaguely remember a friend of mine who works at the Copyright Office saying that every 20 words in a literary work is not plagiarism.

Plagiarism is an infringement of copying someone else's work as one's own.

Two criteria are defined:

1. Whether the plagiarized work is protected by the Copyright Law in accordance with the law;

2. Whether the plagiarist (plagiarist) uses other people's works beyond the scope of "appropriate citation".

Regarding the quantitative limit of "appropriate citation", Article 15 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Trial Regulations on the Protection of Books and Periodicals clearly stipulates that "the quotation of non-poetic works shall not exceed 2,500 words or one-tenth of the cited works"; "Where a work of one or more persons is cited, the total amount of quotation shall not exceed one-tenth of the total number of works created by the person."

For example, if 20 or more than 90% of the characters in a paragraph are identical, and the source is not indicated, it can be regarded as similar. If there are more than 5 similarities in a work, it can be regarded as minor plagiarism; More than 10 can be counted as serious plagiarism; If there are more than 20 similarities, it should be counted as plagiarism; More than 30% of the similarities are serious plagiarism.

1. Plagiarism refers to stealing other people's works as one's own, including completely copying other people's works and changing their form or content to a certain extent, without the permission of the co-author, publishing the works created in cooperation with others as their own separate works, and without the permission of the copyright owner, using the works in exhibitions, filming films and using works in a way similar to filming, all belong to plagiarism.

2. According to the "Modern Chinese Dictionary", it has three meanings: detour to attack the enemy; Publish other people's articles and works as your own, and be substantially similar; Regardless of reality, copying other people's ideas, methods, experiences, etc. In the literary world, plagiarism is a serious infringement of the copyright of others, and it is also an act that is difficult to identify in the practice of copyright adjudication.

Plagiarism refers to stealing the work of others as one's own, including the act of completely copying the work of others and changing its form or content to a certain extent, publishing the work created in collaboration with others as one's own work without the permission of the co-author, and using the work in an exhibition, filming and using the work in a way similar to that of filming without the permission of the copyright owner.

Article 52 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China provides that a person who commits any of the following infringements shall, depending on the circumstances, bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the impact, making a formal apology, and compensating for losses: (1) publishing his work without the permission of the copyright owner; (2) Without the permission of the co-authors, publishing a work created in collaboration with others as a work created by oneself alone; (3) Signing the works of others without participating in the creation of works for the purpose of seeking personal fame and fortune; (4) Distorting or tampering with the works of others; (5) Plagiarizing the works of others; (6) Without the permission of the copyright owner, the work is used in an exhibition, filming, or in a method similar to the filming of a film, or in the form of adaptation, translation, annotation, or other means, except as otherwise provided in this Law; (7) Failing to pay remuneration for the use of another person's work; (8) Leasing works or audio or video recordings without the permission of the copyright owner of a film work or a work created by a method similar to that of a film, computer software, or audio or video recording, or the rights holder related to copyright, except as otherwise provided by this Law; (9) Without the permission of the publisher, using the layout design of the books or periodicals published by the publisher; (10) Without the performer's permission, live streaming or publicly transmitting their live performance, or recording their performance; (11) Other acts that infringe on copyrights and rights and interests related to the copyrights of model debates.
