Don’t You Just Hate Plagiarizers? (And Non-Attributers)

Okay, it’s probably to be expected when you’re publishing things on the web, but I didn’t really think it will happen to me. I have found these two blog posts: plagiarism #1 and plagiarism #2. Both posts infringe on my copyright to this article.
Hay, mga tao talaga. Mr. Carlo, in particular, now sounds intelligent because of this stolen post. I have also fired off a YM message to Ms. Jinny. Too bad they’re both in closed blogging communities or I would’ve fired some stern anonymous comments.
In other news, I noticed that this SkyscraperCity thread has my annotated image inline. It’s not bandwidth theft, since the image was re-uploaded elsewhere, but I want some acknowledgement. I think it was TheCoffee, a Wikipedia friend of mine, who posted the original link there (I don’t mind), but some people now think that the guy who placed the image inline is the one who annotated the picture. Hmmmph.

wow, i looked at those blogs, and they copied your whole article, word for word. it’s funny, ’cause it’s kinda obvious that their other posts have a very different style of writing from yours.

oh, and in mr. carlo’s blog post, the very last paragraph was a comment by Ish on your article. so he copied your article AND a reader’s comment and tried to pass them off as something original. hilarious!

look on the bright side, at least you made stupid and cheap bloggers like Carlo and Jinny look smart and inquisitive even just for a day

Well, Jinny didn’t copy word-for-word but changed a few details (e.g., “Alabang Town Center” became “Emerald Road”) and added some of her own personal statements. But it’s still infringement.

Oh yeah, sowee, that was me that posted a link to your picture on that thread. Hmmph, somehow the guy that re-hosted it and posted it inline got credit for making it, and I didn’t even get credit for finding it.
