The copyright laws protect one’s hard earned work or project. I feel that the material doesn’t matter if it is in hard copy format or an electronic copy, it should be protected from plagiarism. When someone steals something from someone and makes look as their own work, it angers me because that person is lazy to do the work themselves. There is nothing wrong with using someone else’s work or research, as long as credit is given to the author. It is my opinion that plagiarizing electronic content is easier than hard content, because most can do it with minimum effort.
