Re: detecting plagiarism

Today's San Francisco Chronicle has a story about plagiarism.com.  It was
piloted by a class at UC Berkeley.  It looks like a very useful service for
schools but it makes no mention of prices.  What is interesting about the
story is the students knew the service would be used but the professor still
found over 30 instances of plagiarism.  The story is at:

Glatt Plagiarism Services, at plagiarism.com offers tutorial software
and
screening software to help avoid plagiarism, first by teaching what it
is and
how to avoid it, and then by detecting it.  Have any of you used either
of
these products?
