Someone copied almost my ENTIRE pda history site onto
the web forum at
http://tinyurl.com/bhvpv ... Does anyone know what the deal is with this
"britishinformation.com" site anyway? The thief who stole my work even
included the hyperlinks but they don't work. The site includes a web form
for contacting them so I sent a not-so-nice message, but I'm not optimistic
about hearing back. Unfortunately I don't see any way to contact the user
who posted this.
It is better to just forget about it at this point. Why? Because:
1. There's no question the work is yours
2. He doesn't care, and won't ever care
3. In my experience, people who meet the criteria of #2 are gone in 2
years, so the problem corrects itself.
He's not trying to take credit for the work or gain profit from it, so
instead of worrying about it for a few days, use that time more
productively. Life's too short -- you could get hit by a bus tomorrow :-)
Update: It appears he changed the forum posting to something libelous --
not sure that was your original intention. But the copied text is not
there.
