Librarians to the Rescue
Duke Machesne writes "Citing concerns over materials being distributed to American students by the BSA, MPAA, and RIAA's evil minions, the American Library Association will begin distributing its own, more balanced material this winter. The material will deal with insignificant and oft-overlooked details like fair use. More information on Wired News."
plagiarism or not, its the only resort in classes where the teachers dont allow internet citations
If academic dishonesty is your only resort, you might oughta rethink your strategy.
It's much less likely that you would be guilty of plagiarism if you used the web to find allowed sources and then read those sources before writing the paper. Writing the paper based on secondhand comments of original sources and citing the originals without mention of the internet resources used is just dishonest.
Doing so without a very careful reading of the originals would be dishonest and foolish.
Phiwum's law: anyone that names an obvious law after himself and then puts it in his own sig is just pathetic.
