The Rise of the Plagiosphere
After reading "The Rise of the Plagiosphere" I began to think about the technology that is accessible to the public to determine if a paper is plagiarized or not. I think this is a way to deprive a writer of expressive freedom and is in a way a handicap to creative writing. I think there is a thin line between something that is plagiarized and something that is similar in writing, but not the same work. I think in this day and age it is impossible for people not to think of the same things or create the same works and it is important to determine what is original or an improvement over something else and what is a blatant copy of something else. Many authors want to be able to write freely and not worry about whether or not someone else has come up with these same stories and ideas and I feel that they should be free of all those worries and continue to write as openly as they want.
