Someone alerted me to this site tonight where they copied about 1,000 words
straight from my web page.
http://www.industryplayer.com/licenceinfo.php?licid=014060
In the "license research report" section, everything up to the Newton
paragraph is plagiarized from my site.
Argh!!!.
I have often said that anything I post publically (which includes this
list, net froa, a website if I had one, etc) is fair game for further
distribution _if you give the appropriate acknowledgements_. What I mean
by that is that if I, say, post some useful repair tip here, you're
welcome to distribute it, but you have to give me credit.
This has been the policy in academia for many years, and I don't see why
the web should be any different.
Tp take somebody else's work as your own is plagarism, and I am trying to
think up an appropriate punishment for such lowlife.
