What is your attitude regarding plagiarism?

First, aside from "attitude regarding plagiarism", it violates the laws concerning copyrights. It also:

1. Is a high form of laziness.

2. Takes credit for someone else's work.

3. Is not a form of flattery toward the original author.

4. Masks the plagiariser's true ability.

5. Stifles creativity and originality

6. With proper summary and citation, could re-direct the reader to the true source and still provide useful information.
