A graphic designer has been extremely overloaded with work and the deadlines for all the work are around the same time. The designer is becoming overwhelmed with all this work. The designer decides to look for shortcuts in order to be able to finish all his/her work on time. The designer gets the idea that is would be much easier to steal someone else's work off of the internet and pass it off as their own original work.
The designer discusses this idea to his/her peers over a coffee. They all strongly advised that the designer does not do this as it is breaching copyright and will not only put him/herself in trouble but the client, his/her peers and the boss in trouble also.
Copyright is put in place to protect one's ideas and work, this

This is because the person who stole the work is responsible and can be charged for breaching copyright. The designer could obtain a criminal record if convicted within a court trial. But they aren’t the only one involved with this issue. Breaching copyright would also affect the whole company as it will put a bad reputation on the business which then also puts fellow colleagues at risk of losing their job due to a low amount of business. The client who hired this person will also be involved as the person breaching copyright is working for them. They may then have to face court and be questioned by police. If the client hired the designer to do some work for their business, this act could also affect the clients business by putting a bad name on the company due to facing legal …show more content…
There is a possibility that it could work and they could get away with it. But it just isn’t worth it. If by chance the designer got away with breaching copyright, his/her fellow peers may see this and think that they could pull it off themselves. This will then cause more and more people to breach copyright within the business which will then come back to the original designer who breached copyright. If the designer was caught from the start. Fellow peers work and the original designer’s previous work will all be checked which will cause inconvenience within the
The company might face the problem of having their advanced software technology stolen because they were not protected by any patents. It is common that competitors steal somebody’s ideas and develop them. Competition will then be more intense.

The better educated you are, the better off you are socially, and economically. Having a degree is, in general, a good indicator of your level of education. To get it some students study very hard. Others, on the contrary, prefer to take some shortcuts that seem to be easier for them. Those, not so much interested in acquiring a solid education, simply want to plagiarize to pass their classes, to get that degree. Plagiarism spreads out through any level of our education system. It even extends beyond that limit to reach almost any aspect of our society. With the internet revolution, this problem becomes more acute. “The web has provided global access to an unfathomable cornucopia of term papers, essays, and other scholarly works, right there out in the open for purchase or outright theft” (Simonson, Smaldino, & Zvacek, 2015, p. 160). This paper will discuss the different types of plagiarism. Before getting deeper into that discussion, we will start by explaining the word plagiarism.
There are various types of plagiarism. For example, direct plagiarism happens when an individual takes someone
Plagiarism is stealing, cheating and just plain wrong. When you think of plagiarism, you probably just think of someone copying and pasting information from the Internet. But did you know that people can also plagiarize songs and not just information from the internet? Take Justin Bieber for example. He was sued back in 2013 for $10 million for copyright infringement. He supposedly stole lyrics from "two Virginia songwriters who claim that Bieber's song "Somebody to Love" contains numerous lyrical and stylistic similarities to the song they wrote in 2008 by the same name." (NY Daily News. Justin Bieber, Usher sued for $10 million for copyright infringement. February 06, 2014.)
A copyright owner does not need to register an original work in Australia; the Copyright Act 1968 will automatically protect it, if it is expressed in material form. However, copyright does not exist in the idea itself (An introduction to copyright, 2012).
Copyright is not a natural process; it is essentially an agreement between the state and an artist, where the state gives the artist a monopoly on works they make for a certain time in hopes that this artist will continue to create more works. This agreement is beneficial for all parties; the artist gets money for their work (as no one is allowed to produce copies unless granted permission) and an incentive to create new works. The state has artisans to keep the public happy.
Cheating is a big issue that has reached the most competitive campuses around the United States. It is increasing more and more with the new technology that we have in the 21st century because students have easy access to many sources of information. Cheating is something all students have done at some point in their lives, but as they reach a higher academic level, they are faced with more rigorous consequences that can affect their futures in many different ways. Cheating might be seen as an easy way to obtain a good grade, get into a good college, or maintain scholarships or financial aid, but the consequences could affect the life and the future of the student.
Client(s) may be in the first stage of our design thinking sequences (Archer, 1984, p. 67), and then the designer job is to explore what is the problem, what do we want, what do they need: to produce a design to meet the requirements. The initial design problem presented to the designer may be poorly and incompletely described (McDonnell, 1997, p. 45...
