COPY-PASTE = CHEATING (key: thread "A lesson in hope," among others...)

Hello

Copy-Paste = Cheating (key: thread “A lesson in hope”, among others …)

I see no point in continuing a thread that has already been developed on the internet. Had it been approached differently, I would have been more than happy to add my two cents, but given that it is a copy-paste (revised and reshaped), I prefer to refrain.

Below are the two internet links that will take you to the development of this prose.

I still hope to read again substantive threads that sustain the interest Vaz’nautes have in the site.

Maya^^

Hello Maya,
I understand exactly what you mean…
Whenever I’ve posted under “Alternative Medicine,” I’ve always included the book reference from which I took the text, complete with the edition… maybe a professional habit. But it is always good to know the source.

Everyone who knows what a bibliography is works that way.

The internet database is certainly vast, and it is easy to insert a text found here and there.

Loola

It might have been somewhere else… but the reasoning remains the same. lol

The essential thing is that this lesson of hope is there to be read and remembered.
because the essential thing is also that our thought springs mainly from what we retain after a reading. And plagiarism is of little consequence.

Hello Rachida,

I don't understand the meaning of your response to the issue raised by maya^^ in her thread about copy-pastes presented as personal ideas.

The very principle of “the thought that springs forth” is that of creative thought, and how is it possible to want to confuse it with that of plagiarism, which belongs to an entirely different approach and deprives the author of the developed subject of their authorship?

This “plagiarism doesn’t matter” is laden with meaning when one presents others’ ideas without revealing their sources and appropriates them, and I believe that by raising this issue, the VAZ community in question was merely pointing out a lack of integrity, perhaps unintentional, without rejecting the value that exchanges among us all can have on questions arising from various authors who may interest us and are worth discovering.

This is not a criticism of you, Rachida, but a point of view I wish to express in the interest of a fair sharing of opinions among the friends of this site, which is close to our hearts.

With warm regards to you all,

Mamouch

                 bonjour Mamouch  bien voila là une reflexion seduisante Cogemine
                                  qui va amener à a conversation.
                                  desolee pour la file d'attente

Good evening, Rachida

Oh my God ! ! !

"Who cares about plagiarism" is exactly what I just read in your prose, Rachida, in response to Maya and other contributors. Oh, the shame! ! ! ! !. I just want to tell you: if you are as shallow and unwilling to share your own opinions, just stick to reading and don't put yourself in the spotlight with other people's ideas. It's easy to take ideas from those who have them. For heaven's sake, respect the work of authors.

BAM bada BAM Big fall, you're pinned in the shop window
Oh, how embarrassing!!!

P.S.: Did you know that plagiarizing is also stealing and is therefore punishable by law?

Good evening, Cabarete

So, in what way is copying bad in art, as in the rest of human activities? 99% of our actions, ideas, etc., are copies or mixtures of copies.
Have you ever said something that has never been said before? Isn't this rather a qualified polemic of some kind or other…
Copying is at the foundation of our economies, and I cannot cite the name of the person who said that, nor the text, by the way; if you search, you may find it.
Wouldn’t art show us that? We are shocked by text plagiarism just as we would be by a pile of fake Rolexes…

Oh, hello… I just saw your posts now.

I told myself: should I respond or not?

Copying Rolex watches is done purely for economic reasons… and it is strictly FORBIDDEN by law.

I know many people make copies of watches, clothes, sunglasses, CDs, movies, and so on.

As for texts, that remains 'sacred' to me. It is FORBIDDEN, and any student caught plagiarizing receives a zero!! And may be expelled in case of serious plagiarism.

We also copy artists' works… but is that a way of honoring a writer, an artist, a painter? Does that show respect for the entirety of a person, a brand, …?

Hello everyone!

Well, I realize that this discussion thread is turning into a free-for-all.
Many posts have previously been copy-pasted without sparking such a wave of dissent.

But if copy-pasting is to lead to a death sentence, well, [i]I will withdraw from dream interpretation immediately, as all the definitions I include are copy-pasted, primarily from a dictionary, but sometimes from multiple ones, or even other websites.
Because I do not possess innate knowledge, and without them, I would be quite unable to help anyone understand even the slightest dream.

And who among you can claim to have never cited anyone while being unable to know who they are citing?
Some phrases are so deeply embedded in our culture that they constantly come to mind without us worrying about who said them first.

I do hope, however, that peace will return to this forum, which is primarily intended to be a place of support.
(And honestly, if quoting something already said by others before can help, well, why not!)

Very kindly

That makes me smile…

It never even occurred to me to reuse phrases from authors or even celebrities or even proverbs.

And I would still only take back what I kept. On the other hand, I can reuse certain Latin or English expressions that I like.

Hello everyone

Let's get this straight: It is completely off the point to WANT TO CONFUSE a dictionary (particularly a dream dictionary) which is precisely a working tool designed to be browsed and used, and that is indeed its function, one to which everyone is legitimately entitled, and sometimes even obliged, to resort, through the appropriation of others' work.

The fact of pointing out that plagiarism is punishable by law without necessarily leading to the gallows (!) and notify us falls precisely within the scope of the notion mutual aid What is the purpose of this site?

I think you are getting off track on some of them, and I invite you to reread the original post, which indicated a lack of interest. to open a thread with other people's opinions.

There is a big difference between using phrases that are truly an integral part of our culture and pumping ideas from the internet onto paper… for what purpose?
There is no point in finding out-of-context topics on our esoteric-oriented website.

With warm regards to you all,

Cabarete

Cabarete,

I'm sending you some :-*

Loola

Good evening

I'm coming across this post a bit late and don't want to reignite any controversy. I just want to clarify and add some precision.

1/ I see no objection to quoting a text, however it is important to use only an excerpt and to cite the relevant website. You can also request permission from the website in question, which will surely be delighted to appear on a site as magnificent as VAZ.

2/ As for picking up threads that were discussed on other forums… Yes! Given the audience and the high quality of the Vaz’onautes, it will certainly be better handled here than anywhere else.

Yours sincerely.
