woo hoo I've been plagiarised!!!

Yep, EVERYONE wants to be Dawn! I reported that tosser this morning too. I'm not aware of anyone plagiarising me yet, so I guess I'm not "copy-worthy" enough! Just don't lose sight of us all when you hit it big in the literary circles. Poet Laureate maybe?

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. ? Or maybe imitators are the lowest form of laziness? Oh well....glad it's all settled now.

Lol hey Congratulations, now you are famous and you know that you are awesome, (which I knew anyway) but this has proved it, you want to ask him if he would like to pay you for your Story next time before he puts it Public Yes it has happened to me about 2 years ago, it was one of my Gissi Stories lol

Plagiarism is on the widespread.. I'm glad that the matter has been resolved for you. Your topics cool, that's why..

Hi dawn, It is really hurting if you get plagiarized. Now as things have restored and you are back into action no more worry should be haunting you. In my case I have not been a victim of plagiarism so far but the possibility can not be denied.

Here Dawn let me add to the respect for you. LOL sorry couldn't help myself there girlfriend. Anyhoot, nope I can't say I have been important enough as of yet to be plagiarized. Who knows though it's possible I did have a couple of good informative blogs over in yuwie land. I'm now kicking myself where the sun don't shine for deleting the blasted things when I decided to reorganize ugh! Nice to know someone found you're post interesting though eh. I'm greatful to know there are people here that watch out for plagiarizm.

I have not gotten a chance to look to see if you got any new replies to your orignal discussion, but there was one reply that was a beacon signalling people to the original. I was the only one to respond to that plagiarized discussion. The response was calling the guy an idiot & leaving a beacon to your original discussion. He also swiped someone else's discussion, & I left a beacon there to the original discussion. I don't think it's happened to me, but I'm almost always on the look-out, & so are many others.

Little people? Are you telling me you are a leprechaun? I knew about the plagiarized discussion thanks to a mutual friend. Did not bother to tag it or anything cause I was late getting to the party.

I am so excited for you! Wow! Someone wanted to copy your post! That is truly a compliment. But I am glad they caught the little bugger.....I have sometimes posted something and about five minutes later another discussion appears very similar.....not to the exact word but about the same subject.....anyway I am so glad I got to know you before you got so famous! Woo Hoo!

Hi dawnald, yeah!!! you'r famous, some people cannot think for themself and do it the easy way, COPY... how dumb!!! Tamara

I am so glad they caught them, many people seem to want to take short cuts and discussion material is hard to come by. We all deserve the protection for our hard work.

I hate people who plagiarize, though luckily I haven't been plagiarized by a topic yet on mylot.Actually, there might have been one, the same thing was posted 10 minutes after my discussion. I don't think people plagiarize because they like the discussion, but because they see that the discussion have lots of responses, so they copy it, hoping to get lots of responses and earn lots of money. Instead they just get there discussion reported and deleted, no money made and a complete waste of time. =)

hahaha.. Really? You are famous? Anyway, what happened was bad. Nobody should copy the work of an individual. It is the same with stealing. Whoever copied your work should not do it again. His account should be terminated here in mylot. Maybe he/she was your fan and he/she just wanna share your work.

I don't think I have ever been plagiarized. At least, I hope not. It's good to be notified of it though. =)

unfortunately, pretty much anything that is written on the net is up for plagerism. i did some freelance writing several years ago and got ripped off too. if you write something larger such as an article, it may be worth it just to get it copyrighted, but thats a whole nuther kettle of fish.

There there, says she in comforting tones. It is just the heat dear that is getting to you.

What I don't understan is why others can't come up woth their own discussion and stel from someone else. It really makse no snese. The person evidently liked the discussion so well, he dedided to copy it, but by doing so, he might just get banned not to mention none of his discussions will ever get resposes. It isn't een original to copy someone else. Maybe he thought no one would notice that he copied it. I never saw the discussion from you or him, but if I had, I probably would have said something as well, as I don't like it when people do that to others. People need to come up with their own discussions and not copy others. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
