While plagiarism violates many moral and ethical rule systems, copyright infringement is additionally a violation of federal law.

Plagiarism is submitting someone else's work as your own, whether or not that work is also copyrighted, i.e., without giving credit for the true source.

Copyright is the violation of the author's exclusive rights to duplicate, adapt, distribute, and publicly perform or display the work without authorization, even if you give credit to the author. Copyright eventually expires, but that wouldn't excuse plagiarizing it.
