Post Theft

There's been quite a few incidents of plagiarism going on around the blogosphere these days. This is super uncool, and if you're caught doing it you'll be banned from 20sb immediately. (Even if you're copying from a non-20sb member)

I heard about that! Do people really need to steal other comments,blogs, etc. to get us to read your blog? I am sorry that you have no life that you have to steal from others. Remember one word..Karma.

After being kicked from 20sb, they should further be cursed and plagued with a combination of computer viruses, worms, and pop-up ads. If someone copied my blog I have a nice sharp pen waiting for their eyes. Eye for an eye, 2 eyes for a copied blog. Duh.

how can ppl do such a thing. Blog posts are personal and obviously mean a lot to the original blogger. If they are lacking inspiration, go on a joyage of self recovery off a cliff or something

Yeah I heard about that too...and I sort of feel as though it goes without saying that you're out of 20 something bloggas if you're a plagiarizer aka PHONY BALONEY!

But perhaps it needed to be stated!

On the other hand, imitation is the sincerst form of flattery. I mean, I'd be suprised if someone did actually steal a blog post, but kind of chuffed? Chuffed right before I called them out on it and gave them a bad internet name.

I haven't heard of anything 20 something specific but it is pretty rampant. It's bad enough to have splogs sucking off your feed, people plagiarizing your blog is maddening. I

I used to have a great digital fingerprint plugin which worked well for scouting it out, but it no longer works as wp upgraded.

definitely a few 20SBers caught up in the most recent fallouts.

i do think WP has a plugin that helps...i hadn't thought to look.

Plagiarizers disgust me. I'm responsible for someone not being able to graduate because I caught them plagiarizing on a term paper. Violation of university honor code. It should be well ingrained in our minds that plagiarism is not okay. And while it may be the ultimate form of compliment or flattery, whatever, without giving credit where it is deserved is just ...base.
