Writing can be hard.

Heh... I'd have to say it's a real bugger for me. I don't know how you do it everyday. My hat's off to you.

About a year after I started SQL-Server-Performance.Com, somebody "borrowed" my entire website, but they replaced my ads with their ads. This was a very brazen thing to do. But after talking to the attorney of the company hosting my stolen website, it was brought down quickly. I also had additional problems of people borrowing my content on a case-by-case basis, and people sending me articles from other websites. It was a constant problem.

It's a pretty low act. I know that when I'm writing I'm scared to death I might string three or four words together in exactly the same way as someone else. I'd hate to be accused of stealing another person's hard work. I just don't understand why anyone would. Well, I understand, but I can't exactly empathise.

We had to submit our final masters’ paper to some service that tried to catch plagiarism.

In that same online program, a fellow student posted lifted a long web article intact without indicating the source at all. When I privately pointed out that he needed to make his attribution clear, he was livid at me and told me to tell the teacher if I had a problem with it, which I did. The teacher reported it to the university. That is the last I heard of it.

Steve you should have been more suspicious about this guy, he joined two months ago and has only 4 visits to this page and 0 points.

plagiarism is always a bad thing, although, I would like to hear from him what he has to say about this, why did he do it.

Yeah, I would have been curious to hear his side of the story too.

But I wouldn't throw rocks because he had few points when he posted an article. I posted an article long before I was taking part in the forums. And yes, it was my own work too.

Nah... not necessarily and indicator of suspicion. I've seen some folks publish articles that still only have <4 visits and zero points.

Let us not forget the realm of code.
It's just a easy to steal code and claim that it was our idea.
