Abstract
A recent string of lawsuits illustrates the relationship between plagiarism and the law. While often misunderstood, plagiarism is not, in and of itself, a violation of law. However, plagiarism can be against the law if it is carried out in a manner that violates federal copyright law or state civil laws such as those prohibiting conversion or civil theft. This article examines the relationship between plagiarism and the law in addition to exploring the role of information technologies in perpetrating and detecting both.
