I gu...Hi Ken<br />That's a very fitting description.<br />I guess it happens a lot more that the single incident that I have noted here.<br /><br />just coming to think of it, when I was attending the Engineers college, my class visited a large Danish pump manufacturer. They had a department that only had to think of ways on how to manufacture a pump in such a way that it could not be copied if ever opened. <br />This was as I remember done on the circulation pumps for e.g. house heating purposes.<br />They said that if they didn't do it, any one of their pumps would be copied from China within a very short time. <br />So while I don't usually like things that can not be repaired, I can see why some things have to be produced that way. <br />The distinct line between what is rightfully yours and what isn't seems to be rather blurry in the eyes of some people.<br />Thanks for commenting.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-25565943425826414342017-04-06T00:54:36.557-07:002017-04-06T00:54:36.557-07:00Jonas,

With no "gate keepers" and little cost to publish there is not much that can be done other than note and shun.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-52393934379570356552017-04-05T08:49:53.101-07:002017-04-05T08:49:53.101-07:00Hi Bruce

And it didn't say anything about having to pay for the content, but I guess that would come if you continued on the site.<br /><br />I think that if we report pages like that when we see them it will give the copyright holders a little better chance of protecting their right.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-11753322469476114622017-04-05T08:45:14.368-07:002017-04-05T08:45:14.368-07:00Hi Bill
Well you do happen to be a great writer, ...Hi Bill<br /><br />Well you do happen to be a great writer, so I guess that is why someone would copy a blog post of yours.<br /><br />But again it is really low to not mention a source of inspiration if there clearly is one. <br />A simple re-blog is a lot better. After all that gives the credit to the right person i.e. the one who wrote the post.<br /><br />I am afraid that you are correct about that there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it, but I just checked the link I sent to Megan, and the page doesn't work anymore, so maybe they have already managed to get the page removed from its host/server.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-51529580346903914752017-04-05T08:29:18.268-07:002017-04-05T08:29:18.268-07:00I've not encountered the theft you note, but i...I've not encountered the theft you note, but if anything like what I encounter, you will be receiving emails--how he got it I don't know--a persistent rash of emails.

I'm not sure what is to be done about it, though. I once saw an article that was nearly word for word of one of my old blog posts, worded just so that it wasn't a "copy". Considering that I don't get paid for the blog I didn't care so much, I only wished that the writer at least would have given me a little credit for the subject. <br />I guess that in the world of internet there really isn't much that can be done.<br />Billconfusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.com
