Plagiarizing sucks.  You can live without it, its just easier for you to live with it.  Your teaching yourself bad habits for the future, in the aspect of searching for easy way outs even within breaking rules.  You're definately not the only one that does it, but it still doesn't make it right.

To plagiarize is to use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=plagiarize).\n\nIf you plagiarize for profit it is intellectual property theft (civil, not criminal).  If you plagiarize for school there is no legal repercussion, but you may get expelled depending on school policy.

Plagiarism is defined by the Honor Council document as "the act of passing off as one's own the ideas or writings of another." In the Appendix to the Honor Council pamphlet called "Acknowledging the Work of Others" (which is used by permission of Cornell University), three simple conventions are presented for when you must provide a reference:\n \n1. If you use someone else's ideas, you should cite the source. \n2. If the way in which you are using the source is unclear, make it clear. \n3. If you received specific help from someone in writing the paper, acknowledge it. \n\nIf you follow these three steps it is not cheating, if you don't, yes you are.\n\nI hope this helps....\n\nDon

You can take the time to write it yourself.  You can't buy someone else's work and turn it in as your own.  Not only are you not learning anything, you are guilty of plagarism - academic fraud.

“Plagiarism is using others’ ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information” (Writing Tutorial Services, 2000). Notice that it does not matter whether or not the failure to give credit is intentional. Any lack of credit, even accidental, is considered plagiarism.\n\nDefines plagiarism as:\n\n-not giving proper credit for ideas, words, or “specific substance of another’s work,” (P-5) \n\n-claiming authorship on a group project without actually doing the work, \n\n-claiming someone else’s artistic or scholarly work as your own. \n\nAny form of information requires acknowledgement. A common perception is that only the exact copying of words from a printed publication constitutes plagiarism. The requirement to acknowledge sources is much broader. In particular, it is important to understand that the source of  ideas — opinions, theories, facts, etc. — as well as words must be credited..\n\nSources of words and ideas come in many forms, all of which require proper attribution to avoid plagiarism. This web site focuses on plagiarism as it appears in student papers using written sources but the concepts can be applied to any type of source material. Information sources can include:\n\nspoken words such as conversations and interviews, \n\nwritten words including email and web pages as well as published and print materials, \n\nmultimedia such as movies, music and photographs, and \n\nany other way to express an idea including statistics, drawings, graphs, maps, etc\n\n\nExact Copy Plagiarism:\n\nThere are two types of exact copy plagiarism — whole source and partial copy.\n\nWhole source plagiarism is claiming an entire work as your own. The most common example is when a student puts his or her name on a paper written by another person. Whole source plagiarism also includes claiming to be the creator of such things as a work of art, an entire song, or a scientific theorem. Examples of plagiarizing an entire paper include turning in as your own work:\n\na friend’s paper \na purchased paper \na paper published in another source such as a journal or the Internet \nPartial copy plagiarism occurs when the exact words or content from a source are inserted as part of your paper without giving proper attribution. Examples include\n\ncutting and pasting from an electronic source \ncopying from a printed source \nrepeating a conversation, interview remarks, etc. verbatim \ninserting a photo, audio clip, or other multimedia element \n\n\nParaphrase:\n\nMany people believe that putting a piece of text or an idea into ‘their own words’ avoids the issue of plagiarism. There is a formal term for putting text or ideas into ‘your own words’ — it is called paraphrasing. The purpose of paraphrase is often to summarize or simplify the author’s ideas, making them easier to understand, more approachable. You might also use paraphrase to emphasize a particular idea or train of thought from the original author’s text. \n\nHowever, rewriting a piece of information in your own words, or paraphrasing, has two pitfalls. First, close paraphrase, where trivial changes are made such as substituting similar words or changing the sentence order, is essentially the same as copying the author’s words directly. This is not enough to count as an original expression of the idea and is still considered a form of exact copy plagiarism. Second, any type of paraphrase includes the original author’s ideas, which still must be acknowledged even if it has been substantially re-expressed.\n \n\nCommon Knowledge:\n\nNot all ideas require attribution, specifically, facts that are common knowledge. Common knowledge exists when a fact can be found in numerous places or is likely to be known by a lot of people. For example, you do not need to document the fact that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States since this information is widely known. On the other hand, you must credit your source for f

Plagiarism: to use or pass off the ideas or writings of another as ones own. (American Heritage Dictionary)\n\nPlagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty are highly frowned upon, and in college it will get you kicked out of school. Also, there was recently a newspaper columnist who was fired from his job because he plagiarized his writings in the Baltimore Sun. \n\nThink you won't get caught? Maybe not, but there are a number of plagiarism detecting sources online that teachers often use to catch dishonest students. \n\n\nSo, unless you plan on handing in your essay to your teacher with a heading that reads, "This article was written by someone other than myself" I suggest you do your own writing, or be prepared to pay the consequences.

I'd say try a Limewire search for documents with the subject of the report you're looking for.  While reports written by other people don't fall under copyright violation, they do count as academic dishonesty if you try to pass it off as your own work.

don't do it. that IS plagiarism. it is a serious thing. this guy i know used to go to my college. he was smart, well loved and respected. he was a very important person in our community. he was accused of plagiarism and kicked out without a hearing. if you are not a good writer you should take this opportunity to practice so you don't get screwed later on.
