Turnitin
Turnitin is an Internet-based plagiarism-prevention service created by iParadigms, LLC, first launched in 1997. Typically, universities and high schools buy licenses to submit essays to the Turnitin website, which checks the documents for unoriginal content. The results can be used to identify similarities to existing sources or can be used in formative assessment to help students learn how to avoid plagiarism and improve their writing.
Students may be required by schools to submit essays to Turnitin, as a deterrent to plagiarism. This has been a source of criticism, with some students refusing to do so in the belief that requiring it constitutes a presumption of guilt. Additionally, critics have alleged that use of the software violates educational privacy and intellectual property laws.
Parent company iParadigms LLC, also offers a similar plagiarism detection service for newspaper editors, book and magazine publishers called iThenticate, and runs the informational website Plagiarism.org. Other tools included with the Turnitin suite are GradeMark (online grading and feedback) and PeerMark (peer review) services. Turnitin released the WriteCycle Suite on February 3, 2009. WriteCycle bundles the Originality Checking service with its GradeMark online grading tools and PeerMark tools. Turnitin released Turnitin2 on September 4, 2010, dropping the "WriteCycle" nomenclature.

Turn In
by: Pluramonglitter the gold, the lights the fame who is the name of the day?
you read the rags, you watch the shows you want to know the it-crowd
your always with an entourage and paparazzi follows
the publicist has planned it all of course come-late, leave-early
tune in right out, begin to know what it´s about, its not fake
the gossip page was great today your friend was in a scandal
if it´s in print it must be true you live a fantasy now
your world is just a tiny box it´s filled with dolls to play with
it makes me sick to see the shit that you believe important
