My Teacher sent me a link about copyright issues. I find it interesting how serious copyright laws are. Considering, this man used a catch phrase in a facebook post and was nailed for plagiarism. Especially since it was only in a facebook message and not a essay or such that requires sourcing. You, could have no intentions of plagiarism, and have a law suite on your hands. In the end it just shows how important it is to give people credit no matter what the situation is. Therefore, I predict that social network sites will soon have a sourcing options where you can source your findings. To help avoid and remind people to source research. Even if you're just posting it to your moms wall on facebook. If it's out there, it's out there.
