Gadgets & Tech – A survey by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) in the U.K. indicates what should likely be obvious: plagiarism from the Internet is a serious problem.
I can't recall exactly what the name of the website was, but I had a teacher who would require all our work be submitted via email so that she could use the site to tell how much of the paper was plagiarized and how much we had actually written. I didn't find it very effective though, as I was told I had plagiarized 35% of a paper, but I honestly didn't copy-paste anything in the paper.

Here's a fun experiment:
Take a selection of writing and enter it in Google. I'll do entire paragraphs at times. You may be surprised at the results. =D
I do it all the time.
And information comes back from interesting places, doesn't it? =D
