Dear readers, a lesson on Plagiarism

posted on July 17th, 2008 (09:45 AM) in The Self-Destruct Button

According to the ever trusted wikipedia,

Plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Apparently, and I guess naturally, plagiarism is just as common in the blogsphere.

Yesterday, some schmuck plagiarized Ed, a.k.a. the musicblogger's website.  As in literally copy+paste entries with pics to his website, and claimed it as his!   The nerve right?!

Unfortunately for him, the dirty deed was found. 

After probably a barrage of irate comments from angry bloggers, he placed credits on the articles he stole from Ed.  Then afterwards, deleted said entries. 

If you want to see the details, check the entry "BEWARE: “Federico Garcia” Steals, Plagiarizes Blog Posts and Site Contents (Help Us Spread the Word)"

p.s.

he actually commented on the article.  what a funneh!
