What is the difference between Plagiarism and Copyright?
Plagiarism is using someone else's idea (usually written) without giving proper permission or credit for said idea -- a failure to site in satisfactory terms.
Copyright Infringement is using someone else's creative idea (song, video, movie clip, visual art, photograph, etc) without authorization or compensation.
