Abstract: AbstractPlagiarism and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Violations have become a serious concern for many institutions and organisations. The revolutionary development of the Web presents numerous opportunities for such infringements to become even more widespread. This situation poses a variety of threats both on the individual level by introducing a “culture of mediocrity” and at an organizational level, infringement of intellectual property rights. The immense impact of the Web and a resulting culture poses many more dangers than foreseeable (Kulathuramaiyer and Balke, 2006). We then present a discussion on current tools for fighting plagiarism and IPR violations. We propose solutions to effectively address the issue, which includes the establishment of a European Centre for plagiarism and IPR violation, and through the application of viable technologies.
