four hour harrisbomberguy video dropped
im only 30 minutes in but the concept of ‘plagiarism’ is so undefined. is Brent Rivera even ‘copying’ ideas from other youtubers? like yea one can argue the ‘idea’ is an obvious copy but you don’t ‘own’ an idea of say of different priced hotels or whatever.
for example. when you are writing a research paper you use citations. aren’t these citations ‘copying’ text from another paper but worded a bit differently?
Paraphrasing with a citation isn’t plagiarism because you are citing the source of the idea (though in some forms it is, at best, lazy to do this a lot). If you leave out the citation it is plagiarism.
but part of the video deals with overusing a single citation. at what point is one citation too much? say you had a 1000 word article and only two citations where and no ‘original’ text from your own ideas is that plagiarism?
its the homework meme of ‘change it up a bit so it doesn’t look copied’. i guess there is some effort done to change up the words.
the Melania Trump example was mentioned in the video, is this plagiarism?
There are some situations where this is more clear cut than other times. I don’t think I’ll watch this whole video so I don’t know what examples he is using, but
say you had a 1000 word article and only two citations where and no ‘original’ text from your own ideas is that plagiarism?
Maybe. Depends on the specifics.
its the homework meme of ‘change it up a bit so it doesn’t look copied’
Literally copying someone else’s homework and changing it a little is plagiarism.
The image you attached isn’t plagiarism. It’s just similar dresses. If one designer copied another dress pattern and passed it off as their own, then that is plagiarism.
Yeah, I’m only 14 mins in with the game review guy who is pretty obviously guilty but like, it’s cause he sucked at it. I could watch a review of a game and write my own review based on it without playing the game and totally get away with it. Plagiarism to me seems like just being sloppy at rewrites.
