Angela: Jonathan, thank you for spending some time with me today!  My first question is what inspired you to launch Plagiarism Today?   I understand you’re not a Lawyer, you’re simply a man who decided to take a stand against plagiarism.  Was there a defining moment for you?  Some event or circumstance – where you just said to yourself – someone has got to do something about this, and that someone might as well be me?

Jonathan: I’ve been writing and publishing content on the Web for nearly 12 years now. It started with my poetry, literature and short stories and has progressed into other areas over time.
