      No they aren’t, but they directly used audio from it.

      There’s a difference between WoW having a character named Harrison Jones who’s largely a parody of Indiana Jones who’s quests are archaeology based and kinda silly. It’s another thing entirely if they used repurposed clips from Raiders of the Lost Ark for his voicelines.

        Actually, not necessarily. Plagiarism is not interchangeable with copyright infringement. Plagiarism is specifically academic misconduct.

        Those videos that upload an entire movie to YouTube and put “no copyright infringement intended” in the description are not committing plagiarism, because they are being honest about how the content they are using is not their own. But they are committing copyright infringement.

        Likewise, you can do plagiarism while not doing copyright infringement, if you take something that is public domain and use it in your research paper without explaining where you got it. It’s public domain, so there’s nothing legally wrong there. But it’s academically dishonest.
