This is clearly an example of the sham that is copyright law biting itself in the ass.

so if you write something and you have no problem that others (here: Turnitin) copy it into their database to have content (that generates in the end even money for them!), can I savely assume you have no problem with it if I copy your intellectual property of song recordings or books you will write after you finish your schooltime to make a living into my private database without paying you for them and without respecting your copyrights like Turnitin ovioulsy does?

Fine, tell us who you are so we can note for ourself that you are fairgame when it comes to violating your copyrights!

I see a problem with not having a choice.
Can’t wait till our school tries to use turnitin.
I’ll do the same.

If the RIAA can use ‘ law ‘ in ways it was not intended for,
to get money, why shouldn’t we ?

I hope they get money.

Heh, my school uses Turnitin……I see no problem with it adding essays to their database. They just want money.
