You have the right to settle out of court for no more than $30,000, or be taken to court. You've violated federal law; you don't have a lot of options.

Does Plagiarism entail violation of intellectual property laws?

Not always. Plagiarism is making a false claim that you created something original. If you copied a public domain source, it is not a copyright infringement, but still plagiarism. For example, you download a NASA photograph (all works created by the US government are public domain in the USA), modify it and submit it to a photo contest as your original work. That is plagiarism, not copyright infringement.
