   else's work as your own, either explicitly or by failing to give credit. Since   
   you're attributing the    
   poems to Dickinson, you're not claiming authorship, so it doesn't qualify as   
   plagiarism."

   > How so? The answer it gave me looks entirely correct. Your source, OTOH,   
   looks completely unreliable: its claim that publishing Emily Dickinson is   
   plagiarism "even if you credit the author, because you're using their   
   intellectual property" can only    
   come from a source that's ignorant of both "plagiarism" and "intellectual   
   property".   
      
   Exactly, it's an incorrect use of the plagiarism label.
