When will the youth learn that plagiarism is crime; don`t paste to FB without credit

Why does the modern day youth behave so haughty and in total disregard for others rights. To them the word respect is lost upon them in no comprehension. Particularly, they steal other`s work or intellectual property in complete wanton and disregard. With the advent of modern technology, intellectual property is ripped off left and right with no due proper credit or citation. To them its just cut and paste everywhere without ever thinking of the person the credit belongs to or any mention.

With social media upbeat with the youth, all the material is posted and pasted in an instant to the whole world. With the work they 'steal,' they never give an effort to give credit or citation to the author. For example, many of my blog posts that I`ve written with great time, effort and heart are copied and pasted onto Facebook without ever a mention to my name or at least the blog title. And they do it knowingly for other works they post onto their Facebook wall. This is just wrong and a flagrant violation of copyright. Its plagiarism plain and simple. At least to not have the common sense to give credit when credit is due is just not wrong but plain stupidity and irresponsible. When will they learn some responsibility in their lives? They are truly doomed if they go about their lives in such manner, infringing on others rights. They will surely learn a hard lesson one day...
