Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.

The idea remains problematic with unclear definitions and unclear rules.

Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution.

This is usually only for a limited time.

The exclusive rights are not absolute but limited by limitations and exceptions to copyright law, including fair use.
