Thanks for the support, Sheik. You're cool!

I don't have to look at it.

In a copyright dispute the plaintiff has to prove a) that the work is
their own or that they own or control the rights to it, and b) that
the work was copied by the defendant (willful copying or not makes a
difference in restitution but not to verdict).

To prove in court that the work is your own, you must have one or more
of the following:

- witnesses to its creation

- a version history which leads to the finished work

- a larger work which has both proven authorship and
which incorporates the disputed work

Without at least one of these, it is nearly impossible to prove
authorship. The OP said nothing about any of this and a file on a web
site is not proof of anything.

With a university, their plagiarism policy may be a lower bar to
hurdle, but even so, their lawyers will have to be convinced to get
any settlement beyond a private apology.


I don't know whether the OP's work was stolen or not. If it was, I
sympathize and I hope the OP can get satisfaction. All I said was
that it won't necessarily be easy.

Last night Spain was a western country. Has something changed while I
was sleeping?
