I haven't encountered too much internet plagiarism in my courses (that I know of!!), and I think that's partly thanks to the fact that linguistics is a somewhat esoteric subject and there just aren't that many analyses of, say, Inuktitut vowels floating around the web (yet!!). But I keep seeing studies that say that large proportions of current college students don't see anything wrong with grabbing information off the web and just using it in their own work with no attribution. *sigh* I hope school systems pick up on this and start teaching ethics for the digital age!
