Can You Copyright Homework Titles?
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this summer, we wrote about how SJSU computer science student (and
| Techdirt reader), Kyle Brady, had won a fight with one of his professors,
| over Kyle's decision to post the code he had written for the class online. He
| had only done so after the assignments were due (so as not to reveal the
| answers to other students), and did so to show off his coding skills and to
| help him get a job.

Can You Plagiarize An Idea?
,----[ Quote ]
| Time and time again, we've heard about people claiming "plagiarism" when the
| truth is that it's just someone else who happened to have the same, or a
| similar, idea. It often happens with books and movies. For example, multiple
| people are suing over the claim that only they could have come up with the
| idea of a child who has a secret life as a rockstar, and Hannah Montana stole
| their idea. But actual copyright infringement or plagiarism (two different
| things) require some actual copying -- not just people having the same idea.
