Which is Worse -- Sharing With Attribution, Or Plagiarism Without?

end of last year, we wrote about the case of zu Guttenberg, Karl-Theodor, former Federal Minister of Defence of Germany, who lost his job and his doctorate when he was found to have plagiarized parts of his thesis. Now, the journal Science reports of another possible case:

German Education and Research Annette Schavan faces charges she plagiarized part of his doctoral thesis, published in 1980. A website called schavanplag (in German) identified 56 incidents where anonymous accuser said Schavan phrasing copied incorrectly cited sources.

That alone might not be as important, if not for the fact that there have been at least two recent cases of plagiarism by German politicians - Silvana Koch -Mehrin, in June last year, and Chatzimarkakis a month later.

Now, I do not know exactly what the positions of all German politicians were online file sharing unauthorized, but somehow I doubt that any of them approved. And yet do not seem to have had no qualms about copying the work of others and passing it off as their own.

Beyond the double standards involved, there is another important point to make here, I think. Plagiarism is the creators of negate their rightful attribution. When people share files online, however, there is no attempt to go through his own work - the allocation is always conserved, because if people do not know what you are downloading.

This is probably why sometimes share online can increase sales of the works in question: it is a way to report something you enjoy - and a personal recommendation is perhaps the form the most powerful marketing around. Plagiarism, however, is a deliberate attempt to enhance his own reputation to deprive others of the recognition of being, with all that this implies for prices lost.

So what is worse? And what should be more concerned with German politicians?

Apple Trounces Samsung in US Court: Jury Members Hit the Interview Circuit

samsungvapple

high profile Samsung vs Apple trial has finally come to a conclusion, and the jury returned an impressive $ 1.05 billion settlement in favor of Apple. The ISN well without substance AOT, but the biggest message here is that Apple is now a legal president of the patents covering most of the gadgets that we love, and the rest of the industry will have to quickly align . This will result in an increase in license fees, higher prices and, ultimately, consumers. The Verge has done an excellent job of synthesizing the verdict as it descended, but simply put, it changes everything.

interviews with jurors began to join various news agencies, and most interesting of them is 67 years Velvin Hogan. As an electrical engineer Hogan seems to have played a role in helping their peers understand the patent system, and in fact, is a holder of the patent itself. It could be argued that Hogan was biased in favor of a system that does not work, however, it seems that if carefully considered the evidence, as their fellow jurors. "We felt as if we were 100 percent, but we wanted something more than a slap on the wrist".

Samsung and Apple have responded publicly to the statement, and it seems that Samsung has decided to appeal.
