    I agree that modern academia defines that as plagiarism. I can’t help but notice that this didn’t use to be the definition until homework scanning websites became a thing in the mid 2000’s. Funny how that works.

      It still is not plagiarism. Lazy people like to call it that so they don’t have to check. It is sad to see. Source: my professor who is leading plagiarism investigations at the university
