i'm haven't spoken to her in months... that is the truth LOL, i haven't updated my signature in over a year, good for you on being so ignorant.Originally posted by: aysemLDG
Bold: A very good observation. I didn't even remark it and realized after you had pointed it out. And -zozo- claimed that she hasn't even talked her.Even this single statement says everthing.
okay first of all i am not her mother, i barely freaking talk to her... sigh.
As for the law argument, that is exactly it, let the writer of the original work handle the situation with ravneet, if she wants to take it to court then she can, she has the right to. Zana's to idea and the message behind the whole thing was good, the EXECUTION, i.e freaking posting screenshots and singling someone out was horrible. Ravneet did something very stupid that's pretty obvious so i am not i WOULDN'T defend her. But you, me or anyone else is in no position to be berating our holy then thou attitudes because at the end of the day it was a mistake a lie, which i am pretty we all have committed, So stop pointing fingers and get to the root of the problem. Plagiarism is not okay, make a PSA ost about it, the addition of those screenshot was unnecessary and petty.
The legal repercussions of plagiarism can be quite serious. Copyright laws are absolute. One cannot use another person's material without citation and reference. An author has the right to sue a plagiarist. Some plagiarism may also be deemed a criminal offense, possibly leading to a prison sentence. Those who write for a living, such as journalists or authors, are particularly susceptible to plagiarism issues. Those who write frequently must be ever-vigilant not to err. Writers are well-aware of copyright laws and ways to avoid plagiarism. As a professional writer, to plagiarize is a serious ethical and perhaps legal issue.
Many recent news reports and articles have exposed plagiarism by journalists, authors, public figures, and researchers. In the case where an author sues a plagiarist, the author may be granted monetary restitution. In the case where a journalist works for a magazine, newspaper or other publisher, or even if a student is found plagiarizing in school, the offending plagiarist could have to pay monetary penalties.
What IF says about differences between Inspiration and Plagiarism?
Inspiration
is when you see something/experience something and are inspired to
create something from it. Fan Fiction comes under inspiration.
In the first case - When you see a scene from a movie, and base a WHOLE NEW STORY, yes it is inspiration.
In
the second case - when you tweak the plot of a story, it is plagiarism.
Why? Because you are not actually creating something. Its like stealing
a diamond necklace from somebody, and replacing one of the diamonds
with a ruby. I hope you get what I mean -
To give you another example - lets say I steal an umbrella from somebody. I come home, and colour the umbrella red. it doesn't change the fact that I stole it
To
point number three - there is a huge difference between concept and
plot. Concept is me saying "the concept of my story is that Khushi has
an accident, and suffers from amnesia ... and Arnav helps her regain her
memory"
That is the concept of your story.
Plot is me
saying - "okay so Khushi has a motorbike accident, Arnav rushes to the
hospital, khushi doesn't recognise him, Arnav is traumatised, then he
meets doctors who tell him Khushi's memory can be bought back, then he
swears to bring Khushi's memory back, she gets discharged from the
hospital and blah blah blah blah.
Somebody writing an entirely
different plotline ON THE CONCEPT of K losing her memory and A helping
her recovering it cannot be counted as plagiarism.

What to do Rish? Times have changed and we are still stuck with rules! People went way too ahead of us. And when everything is on the face, what are we even speaking about? She said that we all have done it.Originally posted by: Rish_Rubles
Using someones energy and work and claiming it as your own, then if someone points it out, apologize and bam! You are done with it? Woah!
She had no right to PUBLICLY point it out, it wasn't Zana's work that was stolen, smh. She could have been platonic about the whole thing and just addressed the severity of plagiarism... UGH I am not Zana's idea of raising awareness was wrong, tbh she was doing the right thing... till she included those screenshots. I would argue more but i have exams, and i guess i have said what i had to so, again it was all my opinion, i was just shedding light on a different prospective which you guy can totally disregard if you like. If i was rude in any way i apologize but i still stand by what i said, singling someone out like that is not okay. Try to put yourself in her shoes. Honestly, i am not defending her mistake, i would have the same opinion if it were either of you in her position and keep in mind we are all strangers.Originally posted by: Rish_Rubles

MsZozo, by doing this you or Ravneet might gain fame but will never be able to gain respect in anyone's eyes. Anyone can earn fame, money but not all can earn respect.

Please your amazing friend destroyed every piece of evidence! Yes, evidence because everything here is going on in legal terms so let this also be in legal terms. Don't think we are against Ravneet, we are against the crime she committed. Please, write a story, and know the pain before naming all this as petty. As Rish said, there's a reason why there a bunch of people in a court.]She had no right to PUBLICLY point it out, it wasn't Zana's work that was stolen, smh.
