I just started blogging (and am not really big or that great at it, but the point is more that I just enjoy it) and all the plagiarism issues going around make me sit and wonder "why even bother?" I can't imagine how painful it would be to put so much effort into something just to realize someone else is trying to take the credit for it (or in a lot of cases actually getting away with it). Writing is difficult and time consuming; writers pour a little bit of themselves and their hearts into what they do. It is so much more than drama when someone tries to steal that from you. It shows a whole lot of arrogance when someone can do this and think that they wouldn't get caught, or maybe they just think they're untouchable... no one likes a giant egomaniac, so why would you even want to be that kind of person? I just don't understand people some times. GRRRRR!!!!! <br /><br />Thanks for putting together such a great group of posts on this subject, a lot to times people really don't talk about the things that NEED to be talked about and taken seriously as often as they should! My heart truly goes out to anyone who has been affected by this absolutely horrifying act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207484680596688383.post-50032825078090723342013-01-21T14:09:37.395-08:002013-01-21T14:09:37.395-08:00Just an FYI -- My Free Copywrite turned out to be ...Just an FYI -- My Free Copywrite turned out to be a scam.

As far as I know I've never been plagiarized, but I can imagine that it would make me feel terrible. I spend a lot of time of my blog, and I love writing my reviews. I don't know if they are any good or not, but I'm proud of them! Writing is a creative art!

All the time and effort into writing an original piece of writing.. and someone just takes it in a few seconds. It is horrible. <br />Thank you so much for posting. I love the gifs! I hope you manage to spread the word even more and get the word out about plagiarism.

It's important to spread awareness and I love that you are being professional about it. <br /><br />I like that you are taking a stand against it just being "drama" and getting to the meat of the act. Plagiarism isn't ok. Those being plagiarized worked hard to make their reviews their own and I know for a fact that if it were me, I wouldn't want my work stolen. What's even worse is that it was copy and pasted. That was no "accident" or "influence" but straight up plagiarism. This is the <i>internet</i>, a public place. Did they honestly think they could get away with it? Why chance it in the first place? <br /><br />Also, why blog if you can't get creative. Sure we all have days where we blank out and can't figure out what to write, but take a break and sit down another time to write it. The point of the blog is to spread your <b>own</b> opinion. If we wanted to read someone else's, we'd just go to their blog in the first place. <br /><br />Thanks Inky for being professional about this. I know this is going to cause a lot of drama, but bashing people and hating on them isn't the answer. We can still be kind, without agreeing with what they did. Good luck in your quest to raise awareness and hopefully I'll be able to put up a discussion post about it soon :)<br /><br />All the best ♥<br />Mackenzie @ <a href="http://ohfortheloveofbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Oh, For the Love of Books!</a>Mackenzie @ Oh, For the Love of Books!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07601479928922791077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207484680596688383.post-23171774147278224722013-01-19T08:43:06.221-08:002013-01-19T08:43:06.221-08:00Thanks for this awesome post!! It really sucks. I ...Thanks for this awesome post!! It really sucks. I have stayed mostly quiet about it, but inside I am mad and feel totally violated. I'm mad for me and mad for the other bloggers. I wasn't even aware that I was plagiarized until Anna emailed me. I think that makes it worse. How many of us have been plagiarized and don't even know about it. It's really hard to keep positive about things and be excited about what you are writing when it could be getting used on other peoples blogs without you even knowing. All the time put into reading and writing a review to have someone just take it like it's theirs. I do agree that it's not just drama. Yes, it causes drama, but it should. People should know about these awful, thoughtless people!

I don't g...God, this situation freaking sucks.<br /><br />I don't get why people plagiarize either. Blogging is all about sharing your opinions about books you read, and I usually feel quite proud of my reviews (except for the shit ones.. LOL). I love it when people actually read my reviews. It gives me a happy, bubbly, warm, fuzzy feeling. Like OHMYGOD PEOPLE CARE ABOUT WHAT I THINK!!!!£!£o!i"j£: But if you're just copying someone else's reviews, people aren't following your blog because they care about what you think... they're following because they like SOMEONE ELSE'S reviews.. So then what's the freaking point???<br /><br />Also, just FYI, you don't have to "get work copyrighted". Whenever you create something, you AUTOMATICALLY own the copyright. You don't have to register it or submit it. It's already yours.<br /><br /><em>By law, when something is written, drawn, photographed, etc., its copyright is automatically owned by the author. In other words, a copyright exists at the moment the work is created.<br /><a href="https://www.legalzoom.com/intellectual-property-rights/copyrights/do-i-need-copyright" rel="nofollow">—Legal Zoom</a></em><br /><br />You only really need to register copyright if you ever want to take a copyright infringement case to court. Registering it doesn't give you the copyright, it's just a way of submitting proof of 'ownership' and date of ownership for legal/court reasons. But regardless of whether you register, you own the copyright and if someone steals that content it's automatically copyright infringement.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490794166647799624noreply@blogger.com
