Legal analysis: Plagiarism and plagiarism are the same concept, which refers to stealing other people's works or pieces of works for their own use. Plagiarism infringement, like other infringements, requires four elements: first, the act is illegal; Second, objective facts that are harmful; Third, there is a causal relationship with the damage facts; Fourth, the actor is at fault. Because plagiarism needs to be published to produce infringement consequences, that is, the objective fact of damage, it is usually referred to as published plagiarism when identifying plagiarism. Therefore, more accurately, plagiarism refers to stealing other people's works or publishing fragments of works. From the form of plagiarism, there are acts of copying others' works intact or basically intact, and there are also acts of taking others' original components protected by copyright as their own after a makeover. The former is called low-level plagiarism in the field of copyright law enforcement, and the latter is called high-level plagiarism.
