> Plagiarism brings a slap on the wrist unless the case is very high profile, like the example posted by azan_20 in the sibling where the plagiarising academic had many accolades and a big reputation. If the target or source of plagiarism is not famous it's like stealing bikes.

I'd like to clarify - the very high profile case did not even get wrist slap and Cambridge is actually defending him.
