RATIONALE Joseph is guilty of plagiarism because he copied a written passage about a new idea to stop cyberbullying into his own blog entry without citation. It is important to cite sources when referring to the work of another. Allison could be guilty of copyright infringement because she used the soundtrack of a popular action movie without prior consent.
