After reading the KU handbook for writers I have come to the conclusion that it is very important to cite all of your work because you want to make sure that you are giving the writer the proper credit for his/her work.

What would I do if someone used something I created without giving me credit? Hum good question. I'm the kind of person who is very forgiving so if someone would do that to me I would probably say "I'm sure that it was by accident and that they did not mean to do it on purpose". I then would let the person slide.

I have not heard of any real world plagiarism and I think if I did I would get a little upset because I am sure a lot of people would try and sue someone for millions because they did this. I could see if someone plagiarised a whole book then I might sue and ask for jail time.

I do believe that the Internet does blur the lines of legally owned so that they can try and catch someone and sue them for money . Plagiarism is not a funny thing but it is scary when you are writing something because you want to make sure that it is not considered plagiarism.
