IPR, Plagiarism and the Text Data Security Pyramid

Abstract

Plagiarism is a critical issue of concern in modern times and a major threat for evolving and preexisting text literature available in public domain. Adding fuel to the existing threat is the absence of any legal framework for preserving folklore. IT being equipped with the capability of pattern matching and recognition supplemented by genetic algorithms can effectively be utilized for this purpose. It is the imperative need of society that these plagiaristic acts are restricted and the sanctity of existing work maintained. The paper discusses the predominant practices followed for data protection and modern methods of communication.
