The following article shows the issue of self-plagiarism in the light of plagiarism crimes. The topic has repeatedly been an object of controversy. The considerations began with an analysis of crime appropriation of authorship. Then the stance in which the autor unravels the postulate de lege ferenda. It was justified why the word „appropriation”, used by the legislator, is not correct in copyright relations. Guided by the statement about imposibility of appropriation, an obligation to use the plagiarism was attested. The term signifies attribution of autorship. Thereby the original rule of law, the range of which was dubiously outstretched on self-plagiarism, was depicted. Entering into the merits of the article, it was noticed that the word „self-plagiarism” is a linguistic mistake. Additionally, this term is encumbered with a logical error. The article includes justification why the use of such a term is an error. The essence of the work is to show that self-plagiarism should not be confused with plagiarism and, what is the most important, self-plagiarism is not a plagiarism, particularly it is not a crime.
