Subject: Re: [IP] Plagiarism? How to identify?


There's a firm that's associated with the academic firm, turnitin.com

http://www.ithenticate.com

Quote from webpage:

The Internet, though an invaluable resource for services and  
information, is also an unparalleled environment for all varieties of  
intellectual property theft. iThenticate™ is a revolutionary new  
system that combats the piracy of intellectual property and ensures  
the originality of written work for publishers, news agencies,  
corporations, law firms, and non-profit entities.

Sounds like the answer to me.
