William is working on a term paper. He finds an online article on the same subject as his paper. He downloads the article and paraphrases a portion of it in his paper. He does not include the article in his list of references because he did not use the exact wording of the article. What illegal and unethical conduct is William guilty of? A.
software piracy
B.
plagiarism
C.
patent infringement
D.
trademark violation

B. Plagiarism

Explanation:

It's pretty simple--

- Software piracy is the unauthorized downloading, copying, use, or distribution of software, so it would not be A.

- Patent infringement  is when someone sells, imports, uses, or makes a product that someone else invented without permission, so it is not C.

- Trademark infringement is a violation of the exclusive rights attached to a trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licenses, so it wouldn't be D.

- It is plagiarism because William is taking someone else's work and passing it off as his own. He did not credit the original author of the article so it counts as Plagiarism. Hope this helped you out a bit :D
