Steal This Post
Mar 1st, 2006 by Babs

Okay, so I’m part of this LJ group. Recently someone crossposted there as well as on another forum, using the other forum’s intro questionaire. Since they did not mention that they had crossposted, everyone in the first group has come to the assumption that the questionaire belongs to their group. After having it pointed out to them twice (by yours truly) that they are taking/giving credit to the wrong source, someone else suggested that the group make up its own questionaire. Response from the others in the group: Who gives a fuck? It’s only a questionaire.

Now I may be a bit more sensitive to this than most, having dealt with plagiarism and theft on more than one occasion, but it really irks me when people trivialize a situation such as this. Someone had to take the time to think up those questions and get them onto the group info page, right?

It’s like the jerks on eBay who steal other sellers’ photos, or the “webmaster” who steals another site’s code but thinks it’s okay because they changed the colors.

*rolls eyes* It’s so sad.
