From the Yomiuri Shinbun “A former assistant professor of Meiji University’s School of Information and Communication plagiarized 96 percent of a report on copyright submitted to the Institute of Intellectual Property, sources said Monday. The plagiarism is a violation of the Copyright Law.”
Good Show

Too funny!
“he wrote an 83-page report titled “Changes in Ideas on Copyright in France.”
“The plagiarism is a violation of the Copyright Law.”
OMFG!
Japanese news!
I found a similarly ironic article in an issue of the Ajou University English magazine, The Ajou Globe, about 4 years ago. The cover story on plagiarism was titled, “A Plague is Sweeping our Campus.” After the opening two paragraphs, the article’s suddenly shifted to a fairly technical definition of plagiarism and a discussion of how it can be avoided or dealt with. There were no sources cited on the page, but a quick internet search revealed that about 70% of the article had been copied verbatim from the website of a university in Washington state.
It’s just as ironic as this story…
