So was there any concrete or legal action taken?

We all know this kind of things happen all the time, and we’re quick to whine and raise pitchforks about it, but have we actually done something about it?

thanks for this blog entry. a wake up call…

by the way i borrowed used this quotation:

As Deborah Ng on Blog Etiquette: The Rules are Quite Simple put it:

Unless you have permission, it’s never OK to post someone else’s words on your own blog. You’re certainly welcome to provide a quote with attribution but to reprint the entire post is not good blog etiquette at all. In fact, it can get your blog shut down and your hosting taken away.

Hope you don’t mind.

hmm. i’ve posted entire columns of alex magno and conrado de quiros, among others, usually from news sites, when i think the entire thing is worth it. basically to save my readers the trouble of moving sites pa to get the whole thing. and bec i havent received any complaints, i figure that it’s ok lang with the news sites, happy na sila sa link… it’s been done to me too, if memory serves, by philippine star, published my “gag kris!” online in its entirety with proper attribution of course. oh, and “karen devil” LOL was picked up and reposted also in its entirety kung saansaan. can’t complain ;)

With the ease of putting out information comes an ease of putting out misappropriated information. Grabbing credit for someone else’s creative labors. Other shenanigans. Thanks for reciting the etiquette. It should be a front page reference on all blog sites. In short form, not legalese.

I’m honored when people ask if they can quote my writing, so people definitely do follow the etiquette, as it has happened several times. I suspect like life in general, most are upstanding. A few are not.

It’s not plagiarism, per se, but just plain unethical practice for the Web community. We all want traffic to our sites, so these copying of entire and even sizable and original articles take away potential traffic to the original sites these posts were made. This is done a lot, even in FV I remember where a commenter would steal entire writeups to post here.

Give the originators of the text a chance to get the visits they deserve, unless the original page doesn’t exist anymore.
