Based on my own experience on en.wn, I believe copyright/plagiary detection cannot be fully automated without introducing horrific errors, for the same reason translation can't be: doing the task properly requires knowing what the text means.

There is a tool that automatically checks for copyright infringement. It is called CopyPatrol

has got WMF funding, the idea of trying to create 100,000 stub articles on english wikipedia without any thought to how it'll impact on the community.
I find it ironic that a competition is being funded to encourage current contributors to do what we wont accept from new editors. If a new editor was to create an article it wouldnt pass through the Articles for
Creation
process because its half the size of the minimum set there. Many of the competition articles will just get tagged CSD - A1, A7, A9 even G2
While there is a nice bot that will count the size of the prose, there is no automated process for checking copyright violations, checking for notability and most importantly checking for BLP with the aim of 100,000 the community will years to clean up the mess that is about to be
created.
we are 15 days from this disaster commencing
