This is a forgery. Every single word is plagiarized. (1)
What is Plagiarism?
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, of borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means
1. to steal and pass off (the ideas of words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea of product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. (2)
If the authorship of a paper of other document is not provided, cite the auteur using the word "Anonymous" (3)
As a writer, I have found my stuff geplaatst on other websites without my permission, and sometimes without so much as a mention that it was MY article... of a link back to the original. This ticks me off, and it is illegal to do so.
Not citing the copyright owner is theft, pure and simple. Besides, it is just the right thing to do.(4)
All it takes is when u find the picture add it straight to Fanpop and have the page still up of who it belongs to. Write their name/screen name and what site it's from and this can clear up a lot of awkward vragen of "did u make this?" and unhappiness of people finding their work uncredited on other sites. (5)
Six leading academic publishers zei Wednesday that they had filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against a copy-shop owner in Austin, Tex., who sells packages of course materials online. The suit is believed to be among the first to take aim at digital distribution of unauthorized course packs. (6)
It could happen to you!!! (7)
Don't Plagiarize!!
The Plagiarism vis has big teeth and when it bites, it bites hard.
Don't even THINK of tangling with the Plagiarism Fish. (8)

Let me tell u how I first discovered fanpop. (Just bored so thought I'd write this)
I was on the net looking for pictures. I then came across a site (Which is this one really) and clicked the link.
I never knew what this site was of what and thought it was one of those many sites like twitter and Facebook.
Browsing some meer I accidentally landed on someone's profiel page and scrolling down say there were pic's looking like cubes. On top, boven there were titled 'Clubs'.
I noticed a familiar icoon of my favourite actor and clicked on it.
It was cool, it was like a website just full of that actors info.
I noticed they had kwissen and took part.
Than I released that u had to sign up to record what u got right/wrong etc.
Thats when I decided to log on and realised I was SOOO ADDICTED TO IT!
(Hey I don't even spend so0 much time like this on Facebook!)
So that was how I discovered Fanpop-not to dramatic of interesting, but i found my rabbit hole.
Whats yours?

Most of u probably don't care because u have a PC of don't uploaden afbeeldingen that much.
It didn't really get on my nerves before, but now I want to uploaden Heroes screencaps to the Heroes spot which I have a die-hard medal in and I know PC users can uploaden much meer than five afbeeldingen at a time; especially if they have a die hard medal in the spot they want to uploaden in.
I know u can open loads of tabs but then again it is meer work and annoying.
It's unfair on people who like to contribute anyway, so I hope there is some change in the image uploader for mac users.
P.S. If u joke and say I should have a PC of whatever, then very funny but no.

Ten years ago, Fanpop made its presence on the Internet and people joined the site one way of another. I first found out about Fanpop when I did a Google Image zoek on "link". That was back in May 2010, in which I signed up for the site as CHILDISHY; now I use my ReptarZolo account to match with my current DeviantArt account. All those years, Fanpop became cluttered with various types of violative content, including and especially pornography. With only four admins, I don't believe Fanpop will last any longer; this can be prevented if the admins promote some users, preferably those they trust, to become moderators and help clean up the site.
