I'm sure this has happened to other people here,
but it never happened to me
before, and it ticks me off. Someone posted an eBay ad for this vintage
handheld and blatantly copied 680 words of my work into the "more
information" part of the item's description. Above that part, they also
stole extensively (some text and the top photo) from the site
www.datamath.org, but at least the jerk includes that link... There is no
credit for my work at all.
When I do it, I just post the link(s). Let the buyers go
to the source. It saves them a lot of work. It saves me
work, too - no bother with cutting and pasting, just a quick
summary and some relevant links for the item for sale.
