KenzoBonderX Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Ok so this is a really dumb question but let's say person a does some lab experiment and they publish their findings and have copyright rights to it. Now let's say person b goes and blatantly copies person work without giving any credit, like copy pastes everything, is obviously violating the law, and publishes it publicly with ads on to earn money. Obviously person is violating the law. Now let's say person goes along and is researching on the topic for a college essay and the find person article. They take quotes and paraphrase. They give full credit. They do it all in MLA citation or whatever dumb irrelevant citation thing they use in college. They give full credit, however, they are giving it to person who committed plagiarism.Would person a or the government have the rights to sue/punish person in any way? Since they were giving credit to a plagiarizer they were sorta ripping of person work, but at the same time they had no clue and they thought person was legitimate. What would happen in this situation? Edited June 26, 2021 by KenzoBonderHD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkripterMan Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hmm, that's a good question, I don't think they should be held accountable although they probably would be in the courts.
