Copying one person is theft; copying everyone is called research.
means The act of taking someone else's words, ideas, or work and passing them off as your own.
from From Latin plagiarius, meaning kidnapper or abductor — originally someone who stole another person's slave or child. The Roman poet Martial griped that a rival was 'kidnapping' his verses by reciting them as his own, stretching the word from literal man-stealing to the theft of words. By the 1600s, English had borrowed it fully into the literary sense we use now — stealing not a person, but a person's work.
