Hell yes, this happened to me…. This chick was totally ripping off several of my posts when I was back on blogger. She was actually ‘living my life’. It was weird.

Read the whole story here - http://pardonmyenglish.wordpress.com/2008/10/11/imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-flattery/

After putting on a bit of pressure by exposing her as the fraud she is, she finally took down her site. Huzzah. But I still have all the screen shots as souveniers.

[...] I’ve been plagiarized before too. And the blogger actually copied around ten entries. His blog was entirely made up of my articles. I sent the guy an email warning him to take down the blog. He taunted me back. But finally, Blogger took the offending blog down. [...]

So true. Better to post a lame entry than to steal someone else’s, even if it’s a good read.

True.

Still, respect is also recognition. And we all want to be ‘respected’ for our original ideas. That is why we blog - we want the world to know that such a beautiful idea comes from us.

Incidentally, forgive me for not reading the original article. I’m sure it’s something worth copyrighting.

Oh well, apologies for the rant. I’m working with selfish egotistical bastards at the moment who want to patent everything. I don’t understand why they can’t just give it away for free to benefit everyone….

but then as you say, there are a lot more greedier plagiarisers who want the glory for themselves.

Ugh, these patents and copyrights are a tricky lose-lose situations.

[quote comment="59989"][quote comment="59985"]Got tangled with RSS vamps too. But it really didn’t last long. At least I was cited when they did that. But yeah, it’s effin annoying to have your work of blood, sweat and tears (or in your case, Ade Juice) to just be passed off as someone else’s work. I guess it’s one of the things you can put in the list of “You know you’re getting famous when…”

And hey, it doesn’t suck to be you. Maybe that’s why they did it. Ade, the A-list blogger, FTW![/quote]

But Kineda says I’m on the D-List. *sobs*[/quote]

You are A-list to me. Not that it matters, though. Hehehe.

Oh yeah, I’m not sad for you. I am sad for the plagiarizer too.

[quote comment="60959"]As far as my personal views on copyright are concerned, I don’t believe in it. A good idea should be passed on. A copyright exists because we are trying to assert the right to income arising from such material or to get acknowledgement for being the progenitor/owner of an idea.

Of course, mine is an extreme view, afterall, who doesn’t want to be a J.K.
Rowling who can make millions from a good tome.

And it’s not about the income for me, it’s about respect for whoever made the work. :)
