Plagiarism anybody? Cute hyper-referenced spiel whose tech issues are more seriously discussed elsewhere - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/616339/posts?page=1 (which is itself probably a plagiarism)

We've had all kinds of fun with plagiarism here in Charlottesville, via Professor Bloomfield's accusations against University of Virginia students, which is mentioned in the freep story. Dozens of the accused 122 students ended up dropping out or being forced out for committing an Honor Code violation, all based on Bloomfield's program.

If you want to try out his plagiarism software, available for Windows and Linux, you can download it from his site. Run it on all of your favorite e-texts and post your results here. :)
