What Do You Mean, I Didn't Do The Work? Who Do You Think Googled It?

Today's students evidently have no idea that coping and pasting information from the Net without attribution is plagiarism. They not only think information should be free, but they think other people's work should be free for the taking without limitation. They just don't grasp the concept of authorship. Some think that it's a redefinition of creativity and a recognition that nothing is original. But it's more that people are lazy and when there's no punishment for stealing, they'll steal.
