[pp.int.general] Plagiarism is bad because it infringes copyright????

[Richard Stallman]

I have two corrections to suggest.  One is to spell my name correctly:
it has just one n.  The other, more important, is that when the
article says

    I mention this because plagiarism is often confused with
    intellectual property and especially copyright,

it treats "intellectual property" as a meaningful reference to a
coherent something.  In addition, plagiarism is not confused with
copyright per se, but rather with infringement.  Both points could be
clarified by replacing the sentence with this one,

    I mention this because plagiarism is often confused with copyright
    infringement.

or this one.

    I mention this because plagiarism is often confused with copyright
    infringement (which is often further confused by calling copyright
    "intellectual property").
