Plagiarism is not new.
Plagiarism is a very ancient art.
For example Shakespeare stole most of his historical plots directly from Holinshed. [1]
Copying the work of others has existed for many hundreds if not thousands of years.
Definition: “the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own”
As a former teacher I was constantly faced with plagiarism, especially when it is so easy to copy/paste just about anything on the Internet now.
My solution was Simple.
For example, you will find my work on another site if you copy exactly (copy/paste) this quotation into Google “A Tool or Machine may only assist, never replace, a worker”.
However, now use the following quotation: “Check the Poverty Table to see if you qualify “ in Google.
When you see the results, go down 4 items on that page and you will find a Steemit link. Click that link and you will see that the Cheetah Bot found it too.
The explanation is I wrote that material first on my own site and then copied it here on the Steem blockchain (chainBB).
So for you, the solution is to create here and then copy it elsewhere, that way there should be no Cheetah Bot, more exposure for your content, and as well you may earn some in SBD – Steem in the process.
Remember once again, put your own, original, work here first, then copy paste elsewhere if you wish.
