Ok, here is what I cannot understand. I hope someone clarifies it for me. On the VIPER website, they claim:

"we'll take your essay and add it to our database so that future scans that you or other people make can be compared to it. Nobody has access to this database and if part of your essay matches another essay, other people cannot see your work - they only see a percentage match. "

At the same time, on their website they have a bunch of testimonies from university professors, showing that VIPER is obviously used to track for plagiarism in universities. They say that when you scan your essay, it goes to the database for future scans to be compared to it, right? So what happens when you scan your essay, it goes to their database for future scans to be compared to it and then later a professor/reviewer uses viper to scan the very same essay for plagiarism? He will see the percentage match with the essay the student has previously scanned by Viper and he will think that it has been plagiarized, even if it was not. And how is the student then able to prove that he has actually written this essay and not someone else - VIPER will not show the entire work, but just fragments/percentage match. I mean, the whole idea of using VIPER then is contradicting itself and instead of "offering you peace of mind" is doing just the opposite - the moment you scan your work, even if it is 100% original, if a professor later uses Viper, he will think it is plagiarized. What is the point?
