    Draft 2: The plagiarism in Vasos de Papel
    During the last few weeks there has been a
    conversation, mostly in the social medias platforms
    and media, about the plagiarism in Vasos de Papel
    by Eduardo Transfor Ortiz. I have to admit that I
    havent seen neither movies; but Ive been reading
    the news and following the dialogues about this topic.
    First of all, plagiarism is not right and should be
    condemned every time. This is not an option. Doing
    plagiarism demonstrate a lack of professionalism and
    creativity, it damage your reputation and the
    reputation of the people who worked with the project.
    According to the webpage Bowdoin, there are some common types of plagiarism
    (just as a reminder as well to inform):

    Direct Plagiarism- is the word-for-word transcription of a section of someone

    elses work, without attribution and without quotation marks.


    Self-Plagiarism- occurs when a student submits his or her own previous work,
    or mixes parts of previous works, without permission from all professors

    involved.
    Mosaic Plagiarism- occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source
    without using quotation marks, or finds synonyms for the authors language
    while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original.

    Accidental Plagiarism- occurs when a person neglects to cite their sources, or


    misquotes their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using
    similar words, groups of words, and/or sentence structure without attribution.
    In this case, the whole story line and structure
    of the movie was copied and updated. It is
    important to highlight this report because a lot of
    people in social media were saying that this topic is
    not important. One of the reason to say that is
    because Secret Admirer (1985), is an old unpopular
    movie in Puerto Rico, for example. If you copy El
    Quijote, that was written in 1606, it should have
    been treated with the same importance and
    condemn it with the same enthusiasm.
    One thing is to demonstrate the influence of another artists and pieces of arts

    in your work, another is to copy them. There is a huge difference between that and
    it should be established and clear. I'm glad that the actors and other employees
    condemned it and refused to be part of this problem. They talked and said that they
    didnt know about this and that they wont be part of any further activities and
    promotions about the movie. They all demonstrated professionalism and demanded
    an explanation of what was going on.
    In moments where the internet and other tools are so accessible to investigate,
    we should be cautions and respectful about other people's works. I applauded how
    the people who worked for the project reacted and condemned it. It was also a
    good way to start the dialogue about plagiarism; commonly ignored.
