AAARRGGGHHHH ... people still stealing my work

I don't read Iranian, but that doesn't seem like stealing/plagiarism (ie. trying to pass the content off as their own), but rather mirroring the content. You also wrote on the page "please don't reprint anything without crediting me" -- they are indeed crediting you as your byline is intact. So is this stealing? I'm curious: Do you consider a 100% exact mirror, with all authorship notices intact, stealing? You use the word "republishing" but apply it to online non-commercial content, which I don't understand. Can you clarify that? What is "republishing" as applied to online content? I'm not trying to start a war; I'm honestly interested in the answers because they have relevance to archiving our hobby (more specifically, putting said archives online). -- Jim Leonard (trixter at oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/
