Copyright info article

Having found two new panty sellers websites using my written text and passing it off as their own work in the past week alone I decided to look into the issue.

The following information is taken from a very informative and brilliantly written article from www.BruceClay.com:

“In the case of web site theft, the taking of copyrighted materials, altering those materials to look like one’s own work, and the placing of those materials onto the internet for commerce, thus competing with the original author, is theft. It is also a copyright violation, but it is still theft and it can and should be prosecuted as such.”
(direct article link: http://www.bruceclay.com/ethics/webthief.htm)

Therefore in short, using text that someone else has written (either in it’s direct form or by using the same basic text and adding/taking out a word here and there) as if you had written it yourself breaks the law in TWO ways – it is theft and it is copyright violation. It can actually be reported as a criminal offence. It is serious. Don’t do it.

I am not writing this to get send a not-so-subtle hint to those that have done this in the past. It is to hopefully serve as an information point for new sellers, and also to let other sellers/webmasters in general know where they stand on the issue, the article is really informative. Girls, your guys want to know about YOU! If they wanted to read my words then they’d be on my site, they want to know you!
