That one's debatable, but I would say he's clear this time.

Plagiarism is wrong and if you dont know how to cite something you got text from, then just ask someone or look on the Internet. You could be arrested, or in school, fail.

Absolutely agree. Plaiarism destroys what is most treasured to someone who creates an original work. Recognition.

The way to tell where they got a picture from (yes I did use this to cheat the picture game) is to right-click it and press properties.  It'll show you the coding for the picture and most of the link it was derived from.  You can also press copy image location and it will show you where it is when you paste it.

Problem - some people are too lazy to click links.
Solution - Copy and paste only the RELEVANT information, put it in QUOTES to show you are quoting someone else, and post the link to the main article.

I second that notion. Personally I prefer it if both focus quotes and links are provided.
