Student Copyright Case :: GLOBAL ::

As the technological changes rapidly, amount of user who misuse the computer by connecting to a network increasing as well. Student are more likely to find an easiest way to complete their assignment.

In high technology on communication and multimedia world, there is a company who has developed a system that allows student's work to be check either its original or its has been plagiarized. The system is really helpful for the lecture as the lecturer submitted student's work into a database and tracking student who involved in plagiarism.



Comment:

Copyright is product that has a human creativity. It develop by individual that has include elements of eligible work, originality and material form or fixation in their work. The product that has fulfilled the requirement shall be entitled copyright automatically. The product owner's are given legal protection and remedy against unlawful and non consented exploitation.

With the convergence of technological era, it allows student to access any accessible material on the internet and student take advantage of the technology by simply cut and paste the content into their assignment, compile it and assume that is their original work. This is inappropriate and unethical for student to do such thing on their work or assignment.

The system introduced seems to be practical to use in order to track any plagiarism work done by student or anyone. Now, plagiarizer can easily be found by a simple click. It is best to implement in to education sector around to reduce student who plagiarized in their work as well as develop a quality student.

In Malaysia Copyright Act 1998, if a student are convicted of such offense which committed plagiarism and selling or publishing or distributing it, they can be penalize not more than RM10,000 fine or not more than 5 years imprisonment or both. If a student committed plagiarism but for the purpose of their own use and not publishing it and making money from it, means that student are not guilty of such offense. He or she didn't attempt any crime in cyberspace.

It is necessary for each individual to be responsible and honest in any work they attempted to do. Work must be original and does not involve any elements of plagiarism because if your work do have those elements, it can easily be track by using a new system of tracking plagiarize work.
and you will get an extra "mark" by you lecture or boss.
