When is plagarism not an issue?

Plagarism is only not an issue(technically) if the information is considered common knowledge; ex: 'the sky is blue' or 'an orange has vitamin C in it'. Also, plagarism might not be an issue(you wouldn't have to cite sources) if the original author gives you permission to use their work without giving them credit(extremely rare). Note: "The actual author can bring a lawsuit for appropriation of his/her work against the plagiarist and recover the profits. " http://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1534
