Setting the record straight

[Dawid]

Shlama Akhi Dawid, and I see you are not addressing me in this way nor wishing me peace.

Please see the defintions I just provided. I gave the Merriam-Webster defintions of plagiarism in the link originally provided and turned every aspect of that defintion back, i.e. shown that they don't apply to AENT. A plagiarized work can be considered an infringement of copyright. The two ideas a frequently interchanged in public discourse, so to allege one is to imply the other. I refuse to stand on semantic ceremony. Plus it doesn't seem to have occurred to you that Bauscher is suggesting the more serious allegation by applying the broader term and hoping people will think A = B.

But beyond this, AENT is NOT plagiarized, and I will continue to say so that by the legal, copyright and fair use provisions NEITHER HAS HAPPENED.

Please get your facts right.

Mr. Roth, I'm afraid I don't understand what relation my greeting has to do with the issue at hand.

I've just re-read your post, and I'm afraid I see nowhere that equates plagiarism with copyright infringement. Were you referring to a post other than the one in this thread that begins with "I will make this as a separate topic as well, so that all have a chance to see and understand."?
Many times plagiarism is copyright infringement. But not all instances of plagiarism are a copyright infringement. I have my dictionary in front of me and nowhere are the two equated or compared. Nor in my Roget's Thesaurus. As pointed out here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2005/10/06/copyright-infringement-plagiarism-and-fair-use/">http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2005/10/ ... -fair-use/</a><!-- m -->) on plagiarismtoday.com/, not every case of plagiarism is copyright infringement.
I do not mean to become more blunt than I have been, but to put it simply I'm afraid that it is incorrect to say that, "A plagiarized work can be considered an infringement of copyright." This is simply not true.

I must ask you, if anyone who says "plagiarism" implies "copyright infringement" then what would you call it if a modern poet claimed to have written "Annie Laurie"?

It has occurred to me what he may be trying to do. But I rejected it after trying to imagine what else he would call it if he believes you were intellectually dishonest, and yet did not violate the law.

Please do not think that I am accusing you of plagiarism. But I do disagree with you when you equate plagiarism and copyright infringement.
