I don’t know what’s more appalling – the fact that you’re here reading an article to know why plagiarism is wrong, or that I am having to write out some five hundred odd words trying to explain why. Asking why you should never plagiarise content is almost like asking why you should never rob money from a bank. I mean, the reasons are obvious, and also quite similar – it’s not yours, it’s wrong, and you’ll eventually be caught. Okay, I’ll admit that the consequences of plagiarism won’t be as severe as those of robbing a bank, but if you’re a professional writer working with the content writing agencies in India, or if the person you’re plagiarising from happens to be a vindictive, highly-skilled assassin, you just never know.
