This is a new segment, that I am going to play by ear [Website - TheLostGirl’s Blog].
This is a weekly segment that I am planning to post every Monday – the idea being to highlight the ‘People who pinched/ ”borrowed heavily” without crediting me – This Week’.
I have been doing this blogging thing, long enough now, to know that this segment may tread on a few toes. If I really upset anybody, then f*ck it, I’m not that fussed about pulling it… I’m only trying to make a point.
The idea of this segment is a sort of name-and-shame for the people who have fake websites set up to automatically syphon off whole posts (including my personal ones)/ multiple paragraphs – with no indication, anywhere, that the copy was not written by them.
I will have a few basic rules to try and stay on the right side of the law with this one.
1 – I will have print screens only and no links to the offending sites
2 – I will block out the actual site logo, just to be fair.
3 – For reasons of political correctness, I will not name the blog directly/ make it abundantly obvious who I am talking about. However, I reserve the right to angrily slag them off If I feel like it. I am doing a sort of mini public service for the good people on WordPress, who have to put up with people copying their whole posts and not crediting them. I have the feeling that most WordPress people will recognise the sites I put up.
Feel free to use the comments section on this segment to unleash unbridled vitriol on the offenders/ anyone you recognise as taking content from you too…
I Can Has Copyright?
To be fair the last two credited me – but they still nearly have up the whole posts. It only serves to divert adsense traffic to them first!?!
