Anything on the internet is NOT fair game. Just like things published in books are not available for the plagiarizing, the same is true if you publish using any other methods including on the internet.<br /><br />I don't know if it's more rampant now, or if I'm just paying better attention, or if I have more blog friends than before, but I feel like this is suddenly happening a lot. If their blog is hosted on Blogger, that's easy to report - their blog can actually be removed. Other blogs hosted elsewhere are tougher but not impossible.<br /><br />I also can't help but wonder if a few of us need to really band together to make the people who do this miserable when it happens. Ten people telling someone off over their plagiarism might be even more effective than one! But then again, that's just me wanting to stand up for myself and my friends when I say that. ;)Adrianne Surianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02836522129854486281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3015941167016172016.post-31688630612963107342012-09-08T23:04:28.374-06:002012-09-08T23:04:28.374-06:00How horrible!
