UNDERSTANDING PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is the act of taking people's work or idea and making it yours without proper acknowledgment or reference to the original work.

In this scenario, such a person is pretending to be the original owner of the piece, with the aim of taking the credit of the idea or work for him/herself.
Plagiarism is an act of theft.
