Copyright Kids tells us, "Copyright is a form of protection given to the authors or creators of "original works of authorship," including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual works. What that means is that, as the author of the work, you alone have the right to do any of the following or to let others do any of the following:
- make copies of your work;
- distribute copies of your work;
- perform your work publicly (such as for plays, film, dances or music);
- display your work publicly (such as for artwork, or stills from audiovisual works, or any material used on the Internet or television); and
- make “derivative works” (including making modifications, adaptations or other new uses of a work, or translating the work to another media).
In general, it is illegal for anyone to do any of the things listed above with a work created by you without your permission, but there are some exceptions and limitations to your rights as a copyright holder."

Plagiarism is using another person's work without permission. Plagiarism is also using someone's work, and not giving crediting the source or person of whom it belongs. Plagiarism may happen by accident or intentional by copying another persons work, quoting directly from another person, and/or copying and pasting ideas from another source.
