I am always looking for real world examples when discussing plagiarism with students.  Often, it seems that taking something from another site is not a big deal.  I found this recent company blog article discussing how another company used their words.  Although to me, the offense is very slight, it does a good job of showing how important it is to be an ethical user of information.    AND it shows that we don’t make up these rules!
