they've gone ahead and applied the fine, as well as some other smaller fines. now instead of getting paid $257, i get $24. just horrible.

academia-research is fining me $196 for an 8 percent similarity to a paper posted online. is this fair? i recently completed and sent in a 98-dollar order, but according to them, the type of plagiarism involved in this case (8%) is the type that cannot be detected by plagiarism detection software, but can be noticed by teachers and university professors. what i would really like to know is if the customer sent in a complaint from his instructor or professor that there was indeed plagiarism in the paper
