But since 18th Century, Close Imitation or Plagiarism is considered as a dishonesty in some genre, "prominently in the sectors of academia and journalism, where plagiarism is now considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics, subject to sanctions like expulsion and other severe career damage." Conversely if your article is copied in another place or website or journal, there is a huge chance that the demand of the original article will decrease resulting in severe economical damage of the original contributor.

Often Plagiarism happens unintentionally. I have found that some expressions in my blog are the guilty of Plagiarism while I haven't copied anything from others. This is mainly because I have similar way of expressing things as many others. But I can get the same penalty as others who did things intentionally. So, checking an article for Plagiarism before publishing is a must if you don't want to get any kind of copyright infringement notice from any company or organization.
