High school students in Virgina got written up in the Washington Post for their complaint against Turnitin.com. They claim that the for-profit site steals their intellectual property when they are required to submit versions of their paper to the site without compensation.
The article goes on to discuss a few of the intellectual property right issues, but it mostly raises the question about the validity of the complaint.
Do you think students really worry about the "intellectual property" of a paper written for English class, or are worried about getting caught plagiarism?
We don't subscribe to a service like this, but I catch a plariarist or two a semester, so this would be incredibly useful to me!
