When you plagiarize, you are not only harming yourself, but also the whole community of the STEEMIT platform.

✔️ It damages the global perception of the platform and generate very bad SEO metric values,
✔️ so plagiarism may has a serious negative impact on our ecosystem.

The origin of the concept of plagiarism, I must note, is related to jurisprudence. Because we have been talking about this concept since the creation of copyright. Of course, this can be traced back to very old historical times.

The Interpretive Dictionary of the Hungarian Language gives us a very good answer to what plagiarism is in general, and I will quote from it below, but since it is by definition in Hungarian, I will also translate the quote into English.

A szerzői jog kialakulása óta más személy szellemi alkotásának eltulajdonítása, az általa megalkotott műnek v. részeinek felhasználása az eredetire v. a szerzőre való hivatkozás nélkül; szellemi lopás, tolvajlás.^Source

ℹ️ When we talk about plagiarism, it is not always just the original copyright that is being violated.

Think of the different literary works where the given work is translated from one language to another.

In this case, the person of the translator is somewhat relegated to the background compared to the original author, but acts as a co-author on some level. In addition to keeping the essence of the original work, the translation enables the possibility of a freestyle translation that matches the particularities of the given language,

✅ where the translator's own creativity also unfolds❗

The first plagiarism trial in the history of Hungarian literature was the so-called „Ilias pör”.

he believed that it did not matter who translated it: the author Homer.

During the trial, Ferenc Kölcsey was found to be right he won the trial at the court!

Actually, this part should be divided into three main parts. I don't make it a secret at all, of course I do agree with the proper views in the 🔗 „What is Plagiarism in Professional Content Writing & How to Avoid It?”. Therefore, in my further thoughts below, I will quote from this excellent article❗

„When you copy three or more consecutive “Content” words from another source it is called plagiarism. Function words such as and, is, are, of, etc. are not considered when you apply this rule.” ^Source

When you write the same sentence but substitute a few words with their synonyms, it is called plagiarism.”^Source

„When you copy phrases or sentences, word by word but without quotation marks, then it will be considered as plagiarism even if you cite the sources.

You either need to put the copied content in quotation marks and given citation or paraphrase the sentence and write it without quotation and with sources. Only then it will be plagiarism-free.”^Source

💡 Regarding the third point, I can say that the use of quotation marks is really very important, especially here in the arsenal of online publishing options:

Basically, the blockquote HTML command was originally designed for quote.

But... it is still important to use the quotation mark,

Many such software already use also artificial intelligence modules, but I think the ✅

curators

can provide much better ideas on this topic than I can. I'd be sad if it weren't so 😉

I will touch on this part very briefly, but I would be happy if everyone took what was written to heart.

Self-plagiarism is when we transfer our own content word for word from somewhere else, on a copy-paste basis, to this platform and publish it as a post. Obviously, the crime of theft does not arise here, but at the same time it results in content duplication, which is again only a very negative SEO impact. For example, it results in the content on the Steemit platform being stored by the market-leading search engine much more difficult and less frequently (Google Cache)😢

A typical case of this phenomenon:
When the user publishes the same content on, say, the hive.blog platform and here on the Steemit interface. The result of this will be that the search engine will either not make a cache of any page at all, or it will make a cache of the page where the content appeared first chronologically.

✅ One of the two platforms will definitely suffer a negative impact❗

Through these lines, I would like to tell you about an interesting fact, and again give you add more information of myself, supplementing my introduction that you could already find out about me in the 🔗 Achievement 1 material.

Of course, plagiarism is legal and lawful within the Courts, but what is it about, what do we mean by plagiarism here❓

The philosophies formulated through the judgments and their reasoning part are very useful for the entire judgmental culture. That is why there are various decision repositories that already introduce precedence into the legal system even in non-Anglo-Saxon countries and set an example for jurisprudence.

Judgments, on the other hand, can only be entered into any database anonymously, and the technical backgrounds of this is terrifyingly professional.

Conclusion
