Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement
The University of Chicago Law School Faculty Blog: Professor Randy Picker has written an interesting post on how copyright infringement and plagiarism do not enitrely overlap. After citing several examples, he also considers whether enhanced damages are necessary "to compensate for the risk of not catching the infringer[.]" Picker appears to conclude that they are unnecessary since "[t]he fact that infringers will get caught means that reputation markets will have the chance to operate" and the result will be an increase in sales for the victims due to publicity over the plagiarism.
