There's a firm that's associated with the academic firm, turnitin.com http://www.ithenticate.com Quote from webpage:The Internet, though an invaluable resource for services and information, is also an unparalleled environment for all varieties of intellectual property theft. iThenticateā¢ is a revolutionary new system that combats the piracy of intellectual property and ensures the originality of written work for publishers, news agencies, corporations, law firms, and non-profit entities.
Sounds like the answer to me. ********** Liz Ditz ponytrax () batnet com blog: http://lizditz.typepad.com Success: fall down seven times, stand up eight. On Jun 27, 2005, at 4:15 PM, David Farber wrote:

Dave,I have an interesting situation that I think the combined resources of IP could help.I've just received a consultant's report on Virtual Private Networks that, based on previous experience, I believe has been by and large taken wholesale from another source, perhaps a book on the subject.I cannot find the source on the Web using Google (a technique that worked very well on a previous report). This could possblly have been lifted from the ACM digital bookshelf or the IEEE equivalent, but there's no search tool for them. Does anyone know of a "plagiarism server" that would help identify this piece or clear it? Alternatively, I'd be willing to send a sanitized copy of the report to any IPer who knows this literature well and is intrigued by the question.'m sure that this question comes up from time to time, perhaps often, in a publications environment. How have others handled this question?George Sadowsky -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George Sadowsky george.sadowsky () attglobal net 64 Sweet Briar Road http://www.georgesadowsky.com/ Stamford, CT 06905-1514 GSM mobile: +1.202.415.1933 tel: +1.203.329.3288 CDMA mobile: +1.203.219.8250 Voice mail and fax: +1.203.547.6020 SKYPE: sadowsky ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as ponytrax () batnet com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ipArchives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting- people/
