ESsay plagiarism?!

Just curious. How would colleges know if you plagiarize all or some parts of an essay from other people's. I was wondering if they had a computer system like turnitin.com where they have a record of all essays submitted, then they run your essay through and it'll pick up any matches.

Just a thought...anybody know?

People have been caught. Besides the fact that its immoral and sleazy, you're risking your entire future just because you're lazy and don't feel like writing the essay. Not a chance I would take, but that's just me...
