I believe the thing most at stake concerning plagiarism is a moral issue. While a person's originality and income can be affected by stolen work, I think that the issue says more about the person themselves and what they see as stealing. After all, we wouldn't have gotten anywhere in the world if we didn't base our inventions off of what we already know and have created. That's the defeinition of evolution; a process of gradual, peaceful, progressive change or development, as in social or economic structure or institutions. Obviously copying someone's work word for word and saying it's your own is wrong, but using their idea as a basis for your own work isn't corrupt but a sign of sharing knowledge. It sets my attention on the person who doesn't care that they took someone's work than what they're actually discussing. I bet there isn't a single person in the world who can say, "I have never plagiarized." Your first word was plagiarism, you learned (stole) it from your parents. So if it's a taught response then why is it such a controversial subject now a days? You don't crack down on every baby saying they plagiarized do you?
