information on the web as common knowledge; many have downloaded music (perhaps illegally) without
even a thought that doing so might be wrong or illegal; and some argue that the ideas of originality and
author ownership are outmoded in today’s technological world.

of others as one’s original work.

referred to as self-plagiarism and is considered unacceptable.
