Plagiarism is a form of cheating, and within academia is seen as academic dishonesty. It is a matter of deceit: fooling a reader into believing that certain written material is original when it is not. Plagiarism is a serious and punishable academic offense, when the goal is to obtain some sort of personal academic credit or personal recognition.
Plagiarism is not necessarily the same as copyright infringement, which occurs when one violates copyright law.
