I Hate Internet Thieves! - 10-19-2008, 12:00 PM


Another local photographer stole wording from a page on my website and used it on theirs VERBATIM. I just wanna do bad things to her. Know what I mean.

She can't spell worth crap so those paragraphs she stole from me are one of the few areas where there are no grammatical errors and misspellings. I posted over in the Business section here about it.

LOL, like I said on the other thread, it's one of the most frustrating things in this business. Particularly when it's someone in your own area... it's STILL wrong when they're, say, in Milwaukee. But when it's someone within your market area that makes it so much more frustrating.

I keep having my blog posts copied verbatim on other people's blogs. It's annoying.

I always thought if you stole another's ideas or words without giving credit to the author or the orginial wording, it was theft. I'm a part-time student, if I did a research paper and stole your words without giving you credit, I could be expelled so I don't do it. I think it's wrong anyway. Tells me the person who copied you couldn't produce an orginal thought.

I read your post in the business section yesterday but didn't really have anything worthwhile to add. This isn't to make light of the situation, but she must be a total doof to retype your words rather than just copy and paste them! Hope you'll be sending her a letter via certified mail soon.

That is true. It is something that we were warned about over and over again in college.
