plagiarize

plagiarize

transitive verb : to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source

intransitive verb : to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

plagiarism:ideas=rustling:cattle > forgery:documents

In my point of view, Plagiarism is a theft, with a connotation of stealing; so does rustling. Forgery is to imitate and pretend to be the original one, albeit a kind of crime, is not a theft.

1 a : to form (as metal) by heating and hammering b : to form (metal) by a mechanical or hydraulic press with or without heat
2 : to make or imitate falsely especially with intent to defraud : COUNTERFEIT *forge a document* *forge a signature*
