Hey, that was my 100th post ! YAY! lol

LOL - congrats on you 100th post!

I tend to agree with this post. But it's a difficult business considering "intellectual" property and the copyright issue ONLINE - I'm thinking that it's pretty much a fair field type of domain UNLESS there are copyright info for the specific information.

I hate that the plagiarism happened to you AND I would be mad as hell as well. (hehehe that rhymes)

But another thing - is that I would consider it flattering that someone would want to "copy" my stuff -----> Perhaps the middle ground is that the thief can list you as a resource for the writings...

In fact I've have done something similar on my site: http://jpicforum.info/showthread.php?t=657 Though I'd never copy word-for-word it is very nice to recognize that the internet is a COMMUNITY... And to nod a thanx for certain resources is expected, appreciated, and just the FAIR thing to do.
