Turnitin.com is website used by teachers to help them check the students papers for plagiarism. It works this way: students send their papers on the website where the teachers can access it, the software then assesses the paper and provides a percentage of plagiarism in the paper. Then it is up to the teacher to make the decision (whether the student should be punished or not, kkk).Well, turnitin was recently sued by two students of McLean High School for violating the property rights of the students because the papers are published and can be read by others. The interesting fact is that these students and their lawyers were claiming $150,000 for each of six papers written by students!!!
For us students it could be a great news because some of us would be billionaires right away!
