what's a volkswagon ?

If it's sucking up bandwidth block it, if not don't worry about it

sounds like another one of those software tools for people who wouldnt know a computer if an AS400 landed on their volkswagen from orbit.

"That will be $99 please. Thankyou, enjoy your useless software! Come again!"

The concept of it seems outrageous to me
If you happen to write 1 sentence the same as someone else did, it picks it up and turns it in
If you steal a paper that isn't indexed by them (they have somewhere around 1 million sites, which is nothing) then you can get away with it

Doesn't seem to make sense
But, any info you have on your site won't be plagiarized now by high school and college students!

Turnitin is a service that keeps "a copy of the web" in a database that teachers can use to compare students' assignments against, to detect plagiarism (if I remember right - was on the news recently).

I don't think it's anything harmful...
