Some of us has been there before. You see the work on the screen and you swear you’ve seen it before. <\/p>\n

You did. Only it was in the pages of your portfolio.<\/p>\n

When someone copies your work, it’s a crime against the spirit of sharing that is prevalent online. I got my first taste of plagiarism when I found out that my designs were ripped off from a collegemate and boy, was I in a fit. Short of busting his chops and pulling him by the collar, being there in person made it easier to let him know exactly how I felt. Happily for everyone (especially the offender) he made the right choice of re-doing his project, and still remained in one piece \u2013 and I did not press the matter further with my lecturers. <\/p>\n

But what about in cyberspace where we can’t threaten others physically? Or when there isn’t someone to play referee? How do you go about stopping the person from benefiting from your hard work?<\/p>\n

And so, the topic for this the *7th issue of the Good to Know project*<\/a> is:<\/p>\n

\n

What are your thoughts on plagiarism?
\nHave you ever been a victim?
\nWhat did you do when someone copied your work?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ve sent this invitation to mailing list subscribers, but I thought readers might want to weigh in on this topic as well, as it’s one of the biggest pet peeve anyone could have. Email me at amy{AT}pikaland.com your thoughts and experiences by 30th November<\/strong> and if you’d like to submit an illustration to go with it, we most certainly welcome it as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
