Plagiarism: Crot Plagiarism Checker
Block is based on document fingerprinting technologies for pair-wise document comparison.
Please note that as of August 01, 2012 the block does not perform global / Internet search due to monetization of Bing search engine API.
A distinctive feature of this plug-in is that all local checkups are happening on your Moodle server without sending any documents outside. Thus, in contrast to other available solutions, the plug-in does not impose any issues related to student intellectual property protection.
This module is the successor of Crot for Moodle block: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2141&filter=1. This version is tailored for the plagiarism API in Moodle 2.x.
This is standalone module that doesn't require a connection to the external plagiarism detection service.

In metal, I often hear these counter-arguments: “the vocals are just another instrument or texture” or “the music is really what’s important”. Well, vocals are always another instrument and texture. Lyrics, when presented in a rhythmic and sometimes melodic manner, are part of the music. If you’re a metal band with a singer, you can’t say that the guy you drag along on tour and put in the center of the stage doesn’t matter. He’s the center of attention – so what comes out of his mouth is important. It’s not enough just to sound good. Let’s say that you go on a date, and the other person is dressed to the nines. That may seem attractive until you find out that the mind isn’t as sharp as the looks. You shouldn’t date dumb people, and you shouldn’t listen to dumb bands.
Dumb lyrics often get a free pass because of the underlying music. Ideally, both parts are good. Hip-hop faces this problem often. The radio is riddled with “great beats, awful MC” (hello, Fabolous). And, to be honest, I can put up with that more than “awful beats, great MC” (hello, Nas). But the pleasures of “great beats, awful MC” are temporary. What lasts longest and means the most is “great beats, great MC”. This applies to all music with vocals. The best things in life are great total packages – and the best things in life should be the only things we seek.
The second way in which lyrics matter is political, strange as that may sound. We live in an age of overload of both information and disinformation. We are told more things than ever, and they mean less than ever. When we watch TV adverts, and some rapid-fire voice machine-guns out a legal disclaimer at the end, we hear the letter but not the spirit of laws that are meant to protect consumers. Every time we see a news story, other stories could have been presented. Omission is an editorial and political act. It happens every second. Interests big and small use omission to keep people from knowing everything – and knowledge is power.
So we should not volunteer to be ignorant in music, which, if you’re reading this, is probably important to you. Music feeds the soul. It saves lives. It is a source of power. It should be the last place where people don’t have the full picture. Listening to music without knowing the lyrics is like eating food without knowing its ingredients. It’s irresponsible. If music is important to you, take the time to embrace it fully. Know what that guy screaming at you is saying. In real life, you would damn well make sure to know.
