Plagerize - to take ideas, writings, etc. from another and pass them off as one's own. Plagiarism is illegal. In other words, I don't want to see or hear that someone has been using my stories and passing them off as their own. I have given no one permission to take my stories, change the names, or to copy the situations I have written about. Similiar situations are all right, and to be expected in literature.
Similiar stories are also all right, since two or three people can think of the same thing.
This is the end of the legal mumbo-jumbo.
