Plagiarism checkers

Hello, everyone! I'd like to tell you about one of the plagiarism checkers I've tried. It is 'Dupli Checker ' and you can find it if you'll follow this link.It allows you to check the originality of the text and prevent some unpleasent situations. For example, if you don't check the informatiom you'd like to use, the real author won't like it.
