Plato rejects writing by the mouth of Socrates
For Plato, writing, like painting, is but a stationary, passive representation of thought, an approach to object.
For Plato, speaking is something internal and constitutive of the man himself, who in dialogue and relationship with the other supports the question, the stimulation of the listener and constitutes the wisdom and the knowledge.
Writing, however, is something external that can at best serve as a reminder, but it does not constitute part of man nor react to any question or issue and it can not defend itself if you contradict them; it is not wisdom, at most it is information, but not knowledge. The real writing is that "engraved in the soul of the learner; learning takes place when the word is written in the soul; writing is just an image. Writing is nothing but the "pharmakon", the remedy, to remember what they learned before through dialectical discussion.
The writing is not due to life experience of reader but of another one. Written text falls into the hands of anyone, prepared to make sense or not prepared for it.
This is the main objection of Plato. The second is that writing weakens and destroys memory and become forgetful men because the writing is not integrated into their own being.

the current USask definition of plagiarism: “Plagiarism: the presentation of the work or idea of another in such a way as to give others the impression that it is the work or idea of the presenter. Adequate attribution is required. What is essential is that another person have no doubt which words or research results are the student's, and which are drawn from other sources. Full explicit acknowledgement of the source of the material is required. Examples of plagiarism are: (i) The use of material received or purchased from another person, website, or other source or prepared by any person other than the individual claiming to be the author. The use of material received through purchase is also known as “contract cheating.” (ii) The verbatim use of oral or written material without adequate attribution. (iii) The paraphrasing of oral or written material of other persons without adequate attribution.”
