Bot does not even attempt to check for robots.txt, just starts scanning your site. Blocked and banned from my site after it tried loaded 13 pages in less than 5 seconds. Not even Google attempts that many that fast.

This is a useful tool for legitimate teachers evaluating student submissions.
It is also heavily used by plagiarism-for-pay scammers to test whether the ready-made compositions they sell to students are sufficiently altered to escape detection.

Every thing submitted through turnitin becomes the property of the company. Your essays, stories, etc. now belong to them. Normally not an issue for secondary students, but for post-secondary, if you have issue with this please approach your professor/TA/relevant authority figure.

This site makes a profit with a database containing papers submitted by students. These papers are the students' intellectual property, but by "agreeing" to the terms of service they give a copyright waiver to iParadigms, LLC, the company running the site. The reason why I put "agree" in quotation marks is because the students most often have no actual choice in the matter, as they must either submit assignments to ***** or receive a Zero for the assignment. Public schools, sponsored by the government, are forcing students to give a COMMERCIAL ENTITY using a completely PROPRIETARY SYSTEM with zero transparency a full waiver for the copyrights on their intellectual property to do with it what they please for profit on threat of failure of the assignment and possibly failure of the course. This has been taken to court in the United States, and the case was dismissed, a failure of the justice system.

A lot of my teachers make us turn stuff in on this site. It's kind of annoying to use, but it's a legit site.

Good site for teachers.
When uploading I fell like somehow that one sentence may just happen to be close to another one.

Virus-free website but i hate having to upload each and every single essay that i do onto the website. My english teacher won't mark any essay that hasn't been uploaded on to this site. I guess teachers don't really on their "reliable" sense of plagerism detection anymore.
I agree with Branko Rakocevic :)
