The main issues of interest to me right now: plagiarism and w:copyright infringement (un-fair use).
Of the two, w:copyright infringement is to me by far the more confusing, subjective, and hardest to avoid.
Plagiarism, in contrast, seems trivially easy to avoid: simply give ample credit/attribution to any material that you use as a part of your writing! It's easy to give somebody credit for their quotable words or good ideas; it's much harder to resist the temptation to incorporate those words are ideas into one's own work.

- My occasional column on books, words, libraries, American culture, and whatever happens to interest me. The complete archive (some 300 columns) is available.

NOTE: My thinking is always a work in progress. You could mentally insert all my columns in between these two sentences: "This is something I've been thinking about," and "Does this make any sense to you?" I welcome your thoughts. Please send your comments about these columns to: marylaine at netexpress.net. Since I've written a lot of these, some of them many years ago, help me out by telling me which column you're referring to.I'll write columns here whenever I really want to share an idea with you and can find time to write them . If you want to be notified when a new one is up, send me an e-mail and include "My Word's Worth" in the subject line.
