Tissaya submitted a graphic of a massive jedi battle to the [[Dark Voice]]. Sometime later, this exact graphic was discovered by another member on another, non-DB related website.

When the DGM and the Justicar investigated further, it was found that the graphic had actually been created by another artist and Tissaya had attempted to pass it off as her own.

In the end it was decided to give her an Official Letter of Reprimand and probation for her plagiarism.

When the DGM and the Justicar investigated further, it was found that the graphic had actually been created by another artist and Tissaya had attempted to pass it off as her own.

Justicar's Opinion

Written 3/19/2007 by Justicar Kir Taldrya Katarn

* Note: This is not actually a Justicar's Opinion, as such opinions did not exist at the time of this case. However when archiving old Chamber data, JST Kir Taldrya Katarn added this info to the file for preservation. Case should technically be #005. However since current numbering system was not in place during the time of the case, and because the case details were complied after cases #005-#011 were already completed and archived, it was assigned case #012.

Tissaya submitted a graphic to be posted in the Dark voice, and presented it as her own. It was soon discovered that the graphic was actually created by another artist, and Tiss merely c/p'd and submitted it to the DV. Because of odd circumstances at the time, and the fact that she had already gone rogue, Justicar Yacks skipped the trial and concluded the matter himself with the help of the HoJs and DGM.

Concluding she was guilty of plagiarism, Yacks removed her name from the graphic and got permission from the actual artist to post it in the DV (can be seen here: [1]). He then put a Letter of Reprimand in Tiss' file, and put her on probation as well. A demotion was discussed in on IRC, but was never delivered as punishment.

This case was not handled in the normal matter, and the Chamber of Justice does not recommend any future cases follow this course. The CoJ was still being built and a firm procedure had not been setup yet. This is maintained for historical record.

Points of Interest

This entire case originally occurred in the early part of 2005, when the Chamber of Justice was still very young. At this point there was no standard response to plagiarism, so had this gone through a normal trial process it would have been the landmark case.
