Islam and anarchism

Synonymize means replace synonyms for words in a given text. Its purpose is to liberate text from copyrights.

It can be used to avoid plagiarism accusations, when copying text from a copyrighted source (mostly, from the WWW). It is not very clear when a synonymized text finishes being "stolen" and starts being substantially modified as to avoid plagiarism. Probably the lawyers will soon start looking more deeply into this.

Many plagiarism detection systems exist currently on the web. They work by comparing a student´s essay or other questionable material, with every page in the WWW and specific databases. When a suspicious closeness is detected, the Plagiarism Detectors point it out to the teacher or intelectual property agent.

Synonymizing is a tricky way to defeat those plagiarism detectors, which in turn should get smarter in the future to detect machine-made synonymizing. A "synonymizing detector" can be invented, considering the more common synonyms that could have been applied to a text for disguise.

The machine-generated texts are also used by webmasters to supply content to their websites. It is known that the more content a website has, the more chances it has to capture the search engines attention. There is a web-overcrowding risk associated with this feature: content-generating software produces large amounts of text in order to fill new web pages every hour.

This situation resembles the radar vs. radar-detector vs. radar-detector detector controversy.

Synonymizing, synonymizing-detection, plagiarism-detection tools, content-generators, content-generation detectors and similar neologisms will be common in the next few months. This will be a polemic issue that reaches intelectual property, plagiarism, WWW dynamics and machine-writing.
