plagiarism is an academic crime.

failing to cite a source is completely amoral.

No, it's also possible to be sued for plagiarism, so defacto punitive.

I would also err on the side of ethics versus morality for something that doesn't directly and intentionally do harm on its outset.

>would also err on the side of ethics versus morality

this makes no sense.

that doesnt mean its immoral.

and as far as i can tell, its not even true. you can be sued for copyright infringement but plagiarism is not codified.
