It's called "Perjury", it has other names when it's about false quoting a book as your own, it's called "Plagiarism":

You have no argument here.
#1
Perjury =!= lying, perjury = lying under oath, please read the links you post yourself. No civilized place on earth punishes people simply for lying*.
#2 Plagiarism has nothing to do with perjury
It hardly has anything to do with lying as well. When you plagiarize, then you may tell something true **, you just are lying about the source (claiming its yourself when its not)
You are conflating so many things, its no wonder you are so confused about almost anything.
*but probably the dystiopa you envision in which hands are cut off for simple theft.
**most of the time actually, thats why people plagiarize, to tell something of value that someone else alreay figured out.
Read what you wrote again to feel the stupidity of a person who says "lying is not lying".
