A student who was booted off his degree course for plagiarism is to sue the university. He says tutors at the University of Kent should have spotted what he was doing and stopped him sooner.

Hmmm...I don't think I've ever heard this excuse before. Takes a lot of nerve, doesn't it?

As a joint effort, Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin colleges have a resource site and weblog on plagiarism. The site provides syndication for the weblog, a bibliography with print and electronic resources, and tutorials. Also, I think the site theme designer deserves some recognition for the excellent custom Drupal theme.

We all know how wrong it is to steal MP3s from our favorite artists. RIAA, which should stand for Righteous and Indignant Artist Association, is quite right in blaming teens and even pre-teens for ruining the careers of so many hungry but talented artists across this country.

Send Them Back.org is trying to do something about it. The site is asking fans to quit shoplifting and stealing and, in an act of noble retribution, TO SEND BACK THOSE ILLEGAL MP3s. This page was created by Parents and Their Kids against Stealing™, a group dedicated to helping kids feel better about themselves through File Sharing Abstinence. We are committed to spreading the word that stealing is not OK.
