Ok…I’ve seen and heard too many times to count how someone finds their stuff either for sale somewhere or else it’s being claimed as the work of another. Plagiarism BUGS me. Well, actually it simply ticks me off and brings to mind words that would cause a sailor on leave to blush.
So, after seeing it on a bloggy friends blog who is simply too nice to have it ever happen to her I thought I’d do something about it. I figure the direct approach would embarrass my bloggy friend so I’ve come up with a pledge.
I Say No To BLOGIARISM is my way of saying to everyone who copies & pastes, borrows, adds a frame, etc that it’s UNACCEPTABLE. I am not a gal who beats around the bush. I am blunt & my husband says I am abrasivly blunt….and that’s when I’m being nice.
If anyone else is tired of intellectual & image theft please, take the pledge & help create a world where theft is held accountable. There is a difference in forgetting to cite something but when it is pointed out to you & still you refuse to cite it?….shame on you.
I was wondering what happened. I can’t believe people steal stuff soooo often, and never credit where it came from, or just sell it as their own. I wondered last night if someone stole your India cards, since you added your blogname to all of the American symbols cards.
Awesome post!!!
I added the button to my blog!!!
Happy Monday!!!
I like exclamation points, can you tell?
