Well I`m agreed to your point of views that PLAGIARISM should be restricted. As it is similiarly mentioned under following link :
http://www.hec.gov.pk/htmls/temp/Lit...Plagiarism.doc
It`s is unlawful to publish other`s material on their own appellation but their copy-rights on cheap price may accomodate Poors to read the worthy material on cheap prices. For Instance, Windows Original Copy worths atleast 50 $ ; By this aspect, Most of our nation couldn`t acquire Computer facilities till yet.
The Original Copy of Oxford dictionary costs more than 1500 ruppees, So who would handle it in our region. It may advocate Bulls for securing their lucre. I think, It should be tolerable to Copy-right but No change should be occurred in their appellation.
An article of Daily Times also reveals that Copying material is not plagiarism but if a person uses someone’s thesis or research and changes the calculations and results, it will be considered plagiarism.
Edit :
Probably It stays aloof from the criticism. Ahm, HEC is above there.
