    Hey... That was my question! You stole my question! Why don't you make up your own question instead of copying other people's questions?

    I think it is quite hard to create something new nowadays, almost everything has been already found.

    so..lots of plagiarism detectors have been developed (like plagiarism checker http://www.plagtracker.com/), but we still can't find plagiarism in music, art, science..who knows, maybe in a few years there will be created plagiarism detectoros of art, for instance.

    Because it's a form of stealing. Stealing ones ideas is just as bad as stealing ones money.
