And fuck you boyo you've said much worse than me saying I'm tired of watching you jack it in these forums!
Have a nice rest in that bed you've made for yourself.
Yes. Lying is punished, and the more you lie in a place that bans lying; you go to jail:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury
It's called "Perjury", it has other names when it's about false quoting a book as your own, it's called "Plagiarism":

Quote:Most cases of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere between $100 and $50,000 — and up to one year in jail. Plagiarism can also be considered a felony under certain state and federal laws. For example, if a plagiarist copies and earns more than $2,500 from copyrighted material, he or she may face up to $250,000 in fines and up to ten years in jail.
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.
