Plagiarism is apparently not just an undergraduate problem. German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg recently resigned in the wake of claims that he lifted large portions of his 2006 Doctor of Laws thesis from others' works. A Bremen University law professor reportedly made the discovery after reviewing the thesis with the aid of the Internet. The popular German press has dubbed the former minister "Baron Cut-and-Paste" and "Dr. Googleberg." See coverage from the BBC via Barco 2.0.
