Media is continuously growing and expanding with the help of new technology, through this we can search everything we want to know including our homework, school projects and many more. Just one click away and the answers that we need are already placed in a screen, we just have to copy the content given to us by google and we can now paste it in Microsoft word, and that’s it, the assignment is ready to be passed, easy peasy.

But have you thought of giving credits to the author or the site? Definitely No! You see, that’s the common mistake of every student, they think that once they have finished doing their research for a particular assignment, does not mean that it they are done, the last thing that they should do before saving the document is to put the source where they have found the answer to their assignment or mention the author, because if you do not do this, you will be charged in committing plagiarism which is against the law.

R.A 8293 also known as Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines is a legal protection given to the owner for his original work. Once you have reproduce a certain work without the permission given to you by the owner, you will be charged for committing such crime. To avoid plagiarism, do not forget to give credits to the owner and avoid reproducing any copies from a certain work to show respect to the one who made it.
