About 8 years ago using the internet to copy and  plagiarise started to 
be worried about. I said at the time and kept saying that it wasn't a 
problem as the ability to detect such actions would also be enhanced.

Now there are commercial services to do that.

PLAGIARISM SOFTWARE DETECTS NEW MARKET IN CORPORATE WORLD
       Software designed to detect plagiarism is moving from academia, 
where
it's been used for years to flag phony term papers, to the corporate 
world.
Newspapers, law firms and even the U.N. Security Council are using the
data-sifting tools to ensure their documents are original works, and
companies such as iParadigm, Glatt Plagiarism Services, MyDropBox and 
CFL
Software Development have moved quickly to meet the new demand. And 
while
some businesses have been reluctant to deploy such software, iParadigm
president John Barrie predicts that soon the number of corporate clients
will outstrip academics. "The stakes are 100 times greater. We're not
talking about grades anymore," he says. (AP/Washington Post 6 Apr 2004)
