Nothing shows Christmas Spirit quite like stealing.

Most of my "humanities" teachers think it should be. Oh and despite the "said the college student" slash, I haven't plagiarized anything. Yay me.

Unbelievably lame. I see that stuff done on some blogs. People have no shame.

re: #5 Charles

And yes, it's illegal.

At the risk of repeating myself... It's only illegal if you're not a democrat.

re: #9 buzzsawmonkey

In the Case of the "flaming fat thieving douchebag at KFMB San Diego," he claimed it as his own work, so "plagiarism" works for that one too.

Some time today, he removed the ripped-off post. If you follow the link from Iowahawk's site it redirects to the front page now.

Copyright infringement, for the moment, remains illegal even if you are a Democrat.

It would be hard. The MSM would defend the Dem and if they stole the work from a Republican the media would argue that the work had been 'cleansed of evil' not stolen.

re: #23 buzzsawmonkey

re: #16 CynicalConservative

"Plagiarism" describes the act; "copyright infringement" describes the legal cause of action.

To be prosecuted for copyright infringement, one must bring a civil suit against the infringer. There are no Copyright Police; enforcement is a private matter over 90% of the time. Yes, the Copyright Act provides for certain criminal penalties, but they are rarely enforced.

Sad but true.

give em a fair trial then hang em like a Christmas ornament...heh...west of the Pecos style...

not really

re: #23 buzzsawmonkey

Calling him a 'plagiarist' works as a kind of "civil shaming" mechanism, though. It got the radio station to remove it, and probably got the douchebag in hot water, because no media company wants to be accused of the P word.

If Mr. Iowahawk wants to stop the unauthorized use of his work, he should not post them on the internet, where anyone with computer can see them. However, copyright suits are easy for the plaintiff to win if the copyright is registered, but dangerous for the defendant, since he must usually also pay the plaintiff's legal fees if he loses.

Yes, it was Rick Roberts, I saw Aces post on it earlier, and Charles is right, they took down the page, I saw the comments on the original, it was brutal.

Plagiarism and other violations of property rights are rampant, and almost never get litigated due to the legal costs and uncertainty of recovery.
I wish a had a dollar for every time someone unfairly passed off someone else's work product as their own.

Radio guys rip each other off all the time. It's part of the culture. They get away with it because people listening to a no talent hack on an AM station in San Fran have no idea he's ripping off bits from somebody in Florida. With the internet it's easy to see who's ripping off whom.

No he's harmless where he is. Just mute your TVs on the rare occasions Obama lets him speak in public. As Veep he won't have that much to do. His foreign policy failures experience won't mean all that much, since Hillary is going to be SecState and she's worth three of him for real ability.

I just don't get this type of thing. All they have to do is link up Iowahawks page, or give him credit over the air. It makes no sense to me, but then again I come from the old school.

Rush does indeed, but I've heard him attribute stories to LGF that weren't here, and attribute stories found here (identical wording no less) to other blogs.

re: #77 jcm

Cool, I've never seen that before.

re: #79 MrPaulRevere

At least he tries. More than we can say for others.

It's Christmas time in the city.

Earlier this year I had a post goofing on Obama that was widely linked. I got an email from a lefty blogger saying how she liked it and asked whether I wanted to crosspost at her site, which is well known, for rather dubious reasons, I might add. I politely said thanks, but no thanks, feel free to link, but no way am I posting there.

I go out for the night and forget about the whole thing. The next day I get an email from a friend asking me what the hell I was doing posting at that site. So I go there and see my name, an introduction from "me" saying I was now blogging there, and my original post cut and pasted in along with a bunch of links from other sites that had linked me.

So I write to this woman and tell her to take it down. She refuses. I write again and told her what she did would be my very next post explaining to all what kind of stunt she just pulled and I would make her life a living hell. She got all bitchy at me but finally removed my name.

A while later, she actually had the nerve to ask whether I wanted to post something there again. She was told in no uncertain terms to lose my email.

It's one thing if some completely obscure site posts your material, so long as you get credit. It's entirely another when someone pretends it's actually you posting there.

re: #78 Dark_Falcon

Thanks. It's been replaced with the front page, from the link on Iowahawks piece.
NO ONE has Iowahawks natural innate grit of sarcasm and wit. If they are ignorant enough to try and cut and paste his work and not think that someone will notice and recognize it, they are moronic as well as dishonest.

I imagine if you went back through the douchebag's archives, one could probably unearth a lot of other purloined material. I doubt this is a first offense for the fat slob.

re: #83 buzzsawmonkey

I have to sign off, but in parting:

1) If Iowahawk has not registered his work with the Copyright Office, he should do so immediately. The "Congressional Motors" piece is still within the 3-months-of-first-publication grace period.

2) He can register his entire year's output on one set of forms, with one fee of $45, if he uses a Form TX (currently being phased out, but still downloadable on the Copyright Office website) WITH an adjunct Form GR/CP, which stands for "Group Registration of Contributions to Periodicals." Iowahawk's website is a "periodical," so he can register all his text using these two forms combined.

3) Once the work is registered, and the infringed piece is registered within the 3-month grace period, he can explore his legal options, should he wish to. But he should register first.

Can't you just put a copyright notice at the bottom without registering? I always thought that one had a right to copyright without registering.

re: #66 Sharmuta

Blog Plagiarism Q&A
We bloggers generally pride ourselves on uniqueness and creativity. We get a rush when we see others linking to our posts and reading our feeds, since it usually means that they find value in what we have to say. Unfortunately, not everyone who reads your blog does so for legitimate reasons. Some unscrupulous individuals in the blogosphere are only out to scrape your content for their own websites, ripping off your material and claiming it as their own.

You have the option to block the offending site, temporarily, under the DMCA--if you contact the site's ISP. If the ISP doesn't do it, the ISP--not the site--is liable for the infringement.

I didn't pursue anything further once my name was removed. If you want to link me, fine. I just didn't want in any way to be associated with that site outside of being linked. You can't control who's going to link you, obviously. I get linked at plenty of lefty sites taking swipes at me. No big deal. But don't create an ID for me and pretend it's me actually blogging there. That was way over the line.

Guilt ridden liberals to pay voluntary penance.....
Guilty About Flying? SFO To Offer Carbon Credits

San Francisco International Airport is planning to give guilt-ridden travelers a chance to offset the air pollution emitted from their plane rides.

The airport says it will set up a series of kiosks that will allow travelers to purchase certified carbon offsets. The city of San Francisco, the airport and a carbon-reduction investment company, 3Degrees, plans to roll out a pilot program this spring.

Travelers will enter their destination into the kiosk, which will calculate the amount of carbon dioxide for which they are responsible, and the cost of offsetting it. After swiping their credit cards, they would get a receipt listing the exact carbon-reducing projects their money went to.

Voluntary taxation? Brilliant!

re: #122 Honorary Yooper

Beats the hell out of me. One group of people who went to Washington for help were told to cut back salaries, sell the corporate jets, and beg. Another group who wanted help got to keep their CEO salaries and bonuses, kept their private jets, and threw expensive parties afterward.

There's no predictability. IndyMac was allowed to go belly up. Wachovia was forced to merge. Citi got a bailout. What's the difference?
I've heard it argued that Obama can't be any worse than Bush on economics. Paulsen is a deal maker; Volcker and Summers are policy wonks. Business may not like what they do but will know what to expect.

Having been the target of copyright thieves, and working with writers, authors, and photographers on copyright protection and laws for over 25 years, I thought I’d talk a little about what to do when someone steals your content.

First, you noticed that I didn’t say “if” someone steals your content. That was on purpose. With the glut of information on the Internet, it’s now a matter of “when” not “if”.

The first step in learning about what you can do when someone steals your content is to know that it will happen, so the more prepared and informed you are, the better your chances of prevention and having a plan in place when they steal.

Gave ya an upding and an AMEN!

Totally OT and driveby post on this Christmas Eve, but just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the lizards! My hubby sent this to me...don't know if it's been posted already, I'm sure someone will let me know...

'Twas the bailout before Christmas, and people said with a gasp,
“Hey look, is that a stock market collapse!?”
The Big Three CEOs skulked like rats from their lairs,
And begged, hoping billions soon would be theirs!

The bankers meanwhile nestled snug in their beds,
While taxpayer dollars danced in their heads!
The citizens were stunned, like lemmings in May,
Wondering how much more would be taken away!

The dollar it plunges, the deficit soars,
Investment capital is fleeing our shores!
Illegals pour in, we’re treated like pawns,
We’re told time and again we can’t tend our own lawns!

Down savings, down home price, down 401K,
We “hope” to have “change” left at the end of the day!
And just when we thought our fate hadn’t been sealed,
They sell us a t-bill with a negative yield!

When down on the Senate floor there arose such a blather,
(We’d not heard such hot air since the demise of Dan Rather!)
And to no one’s surprise, we learned in a flash,
They’d voted again to spend more of our cash!

Bush now rides off, he’s made all of us cringe,
Now he’s spending our money like a Dem on a binge!
Printing more money and priming the pump,
The Fat Cats are certain of remaining quite plump!

"On Obama! On Biden! On Pelosi and Ried,
From fiscal restraint, you now have been freed!
Raise taxes, raise rules, regulations and fees,
Keep it up ‘til the last oil company flees!"

Tax coal, tax carbon, bid Hummers adieu,
Tax natural gas, electricity… hell, oxygen too!
Away Iraq and Iran and Guantanamo Bay,
“Please some one, just make it all go away!”

We just want our Hi-Def and “Dancing with Stars”,
We buy iPods and Wii’s, heck who needs new cars?!
We trust for some reason those running our government
Never mind who got us in this predicament!

This trust is quite odd, it defies all good reason
For they become more corrupt, as they develop more “season”!
But we just keep electing them, though we’re never sure which
Will defiantly stand as our next Rod Blagovich!

Way back when we were free to “speak” and “believe”
We’ve been shoved overboard now with one mighty heave!
Yes, the times there are changin’, or so it would seem,
Your government is now one big Ponzi scheme!

The old days they are over, yes this much is clear
The politicians'' response: “Send your money here!”
So don’t look back even once, just embrace the new way.
Perhaps buy a Senate seat off of eBay!

Then when all seemed lost, came a man with a sack,
His eye’s how they shifted, like coal they were black!
His bag it reads “TARP,” he doles out cash where most bleak,
‘Til he changes his mind again early next week!

He moved away from the light, not unlike a thief,
“We’re about to get screwed” was our common belief!
But I heard him exclaim, as we shouted our beef,
"Happy Bailout to some!” Our reply, “Oh Good Grief!"
