What is the difference between copyright infringement and plagiarism?

The two are similar in some aspects, however the two are distinctively different.

Plagiarism is claiming attribution for a work you did not author, or using someone else’s work without proper attribution.

Copyright infringement is using someone else’s work without obtaining their permission.
