A VICTIM OF PLAGIARISM

"use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work." (source: wikipidia)

yesterday, while bloghopping i found out that my post "message to the broken-hearted" was being claimed by someone named krissie (this is her site http://crazykrissie.blogspot.com.) she cuts off the last paragraph but ended the post with her name. no doubts, that's purely plagiarism in the act. so lucky i found it early. i could no longer check her out coz she made her site private already.

i'm not really so mad. i just felt so sad for her. so bad, she was so irresponsible..tsk..tsk..she shouldn't claimed it though. i don't really care if my work was used but be sure to give the credits to me not yours..

so you guys, why not try to look around at the blogosphere. you might not know, we have the same thing in common: a victim of plagiarism.

  1. well, it is the highest form of flattery! don't feel too bad. i know its bad to just rip off someone's work, but in the end, sila ray luoy cuz they know its not theirs.:) at least you're not getting a few brainless "negative" comments like i am. so frikking pathetic.

    much love

  3. That happened to me years ago. Nakita kong kinopya niya ang post ko dahil nagleave siya ng comment at nakalagay dun ang site niya. Sinundan ko at nakita ko na buong article ay kinopya niya. Galit na galit ako noon. Tulad din ng mangongopya ng video sa youtube na di marunong magpasalamat sa totoong may-ari ng video.
