Are there any laws or regulations about online plagiarism?

plagiarism infringement, like other infringements, requires four elements: first, the act is illegal; Second, there are objective facts that are harmful; Third, there is a causal relationship with the damage facts; Fourth, the actor is at fault. Because plagiarism needs to be published to produce infringement consequences, that is, the objective fact of damage, it usually refers to the published plagiarism when identifying plagiarism. Therefore, it is more accurate to say that plagiarism refers to stealing other people's works or fragments of works for publication.
