Summary: |
This paper is a discussion about the legal framework of the
plagiarism in Costa Rica. Plagiariasm is a growing and challenging
problem especially in the academic world.
Although the evidence indicates that most authors, including
college students, are aware of rules regarding the use
of quotation marks, plagiarism of text is probably the most
common type of plagiarism
However in Costa Rica that kind of conduct is not a
felony, therefore causes only civil liability that is potential
responsibility for payment of damages
Moreover the costarican Copyright Law does not have
a definition of plagiariasm, lack which causes a lot of ambiguity.
On the other hand there are other related terms like
piracy and self -plagiarism which must be explained in order
to avoid confusion. Finally, in Costa Rica, Perú and Colombia,
for instance, judicial tribunals have solved relevant cases
dealing with plagiarism and copyright infringement, particularly
the moral rights. |
