Editors' note: Admins treat some things differently, depending on who is posting and compiling. Plagiarism related issues thus may end up under general meta, legal issues or fandom specific meta. Plagiarism is an ethical issue. Copyright is a legal issue. Some posts speak to one fandom and some to wider issues. Hence, until we get a name for a major kerfluffle, sorting remains problematic. If you have suggestions for how to address this in organizing posts, please comment as we would appreciate your feedback.
