A well-written article, but I was surprised it didn't mention the more blatant and troubling problem of students buying whole papers on the internet. (I brought this topic up a few weeks ago. It's called "contract cheating.") This is a problem that's a lot harder to detect, but I think even more serious than the "cut and paste" plagiarism.
