Plagiarism – pickpocketing in the net

Just as we are aware of pickpocketing on a busy street – or some stranger getting too frinely only to con us..Plagiarism is the cyberversion of pickpocketing .. or rather pick-posting from our blog

DICTIONARY DEFENITION
Plagiarism :- The unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.


Today morning I was shocked to see three of my template posts in someone else’s blog with absolutely no refrence to my blog and the effort I have taken to get the hacks working

  1. Add Yahoo Smilieys in blogger
  2. Organise your comments with numbers
  3. Change image when cursor moves over

The Respective posts where the contents are copy-pasted (including the spelling mistakes) are

  1. http://niezom.blogspot.com/2007/03/add-yahoo-emotions-smileys-to-your-blog_21.html
  2. http://niezom.blogspot.com/2007/03/change-image-when-cursor-moves-over-it.html
  3. http://niezom.blogspot.com/2007/03/organise-your-comments-with-numbers.html

Please copy paste the above link in the browser and confirm for yourself against my post…Join the fight against plagiarism..Today its me ,..tomorow it could be your blog..

Form your comment.. I guess that he has given due credit

For chage image with curso post.. he has mentioed something as Blog gam*%$#^% with Change Image linking to this post.. again i dont understand

For the Flicker gallery post..(even though copy pasted) i dont see any link…

    Greetings.
    It is good when people recognize their mistake and give the due credits. It is hard however when it is just plain “pickpocket”. In any case, hope you won´t be confronted again with this type of situation.

    Yes.. i hope our fellow bloggers have some basic civic-sense as to greet one-another and exchange subject-matters in more friendly sort of way 🙂
