Actually plagiarism is an act of stealing not just on hieve but in all aspects, of course the act of using someone's content without his consent and claiming to be the rightful owner of the content is a crime and can be considered an act of stealing, plagiarism once happened to a friend of mine just like it happens to you initially when she joined on hive she committed such crime before realising that it was a crime in hieve but unfortunately it's already late for her so she had to go do the necessary things by apologizing and performing the necessary task given to her before she can be forgiven. To crown it all , plagiarism is a crime and should be avoided at all cost.
