It's just kind of frustrating, though...that technically the copyright is automatic, but when it comes down to legal action it doesn't seem to do much good....
... Our battles with the plagiarists have led me to feel the same way - very hesitant to post stuff online that hasn't already been published in hardcopy. At...
Have you considered using pdf files? Or a scanned image instead of just plain old text? It doesn't remove the problem of plagerism (people do it all the...
They removed my writing from the site! I did get an email from the guy who posted it "scolding" me for not allowing my material to be scrutinized...I...
Ugh....killing some time I checked out an old group member's WV listing. He had a second website on his listing and I check it out. *blink* He has reposted...
We have to post here periodically (at least once every 90 days) or Yahoo will delete the group. I am still dismayed at the amount of plagiarism on the web....
I attended a lecture on the basics of intellectual property for work yesterday (thurs). It was informative, and dispelled a few missconceptions -- oldy ones I...
Hello all! I'm new to this list and I was wondering if anyone has any good tricks for searching the web for unauthorized use of one's web-texts. I'm assuming...
I think searching for 'key phrases' in google works well. Also I know university profs sometimes use some sort of program that scans the net for that sort of...
I'm sure someone else will chime in but something we've found works is a slight extension of the technique you're using but plugging in a whole key sentence or...
As I've been busy and distracted, I suppose you all could have had a big long conversation about this recently without me noticing but has anyone seen...
I hadn't no, it looks pretty good. :) ... a big ... anyone ... did ... might not ... up for ... who not ... name and ... really ... on...but I ... while I'm ...
Yeah, it seems like a handy tool, so I'm hoping it's all good. And that I can eventually justify the cost. It beats having to do ones own Google searches all...
This is one of those routine posts needed to keep the YahooGroup in existence. Though we're not working on this actively right now, I know we should have this...
I'm okay with a more open membership. I believe it'll help raise awareness to author, editor, publisher and activist concerns. ... Erynn Poet-terrorist for a...

You know, it might be a really good thing to include people who want to learn about what it is all about. It might be the best way to spread the concern. So I...
I'm for opening up the group but I feel that the resources (besides our charming personal attention) of the group are a little slim. I'm trying to add a few ...
I'm okay if you want to change this - but since I don't have any published works (or anything really 'out there' to have plagerised) I'd have to leave the list...
... Oh dear Gods, no. That's not what I meant at all. You've been a contributing member of this list, providing resources and strategy. I'm sorry if I gave ...
As long as I was complaining about the lack of resources, I've added a number of new links here. Not all of them are great but they do provide some starting...
Heya -- ... I'd be okay with a more general membership -- I think outreach is likely to help us, and more education is good! Cheers, Raven "We have a cloaked...
Did we ever do a post on this one? She kicked off this whole thing, actually, when she plagiarized a handful of the people now on this list. Out of the blue...
All it took was a search on Calgary Celtic to turn up: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CalgaryCelticTribal/ and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CalgarysPTT/...
Hi, I'm new here. :-) I found out from Kym Lambert ni Dhoireann that an article I wrote, "The Sacred Celtic Horse," has been plagerized by one Debbie Goodrich....
Hiya -- ... If dealing with her hasn't worked, I'd try contacting the abuse department of her ISP or hosting company. You can find out who they are by doing...
I just tried to go to her website to check, as I have heard nothing from her, and found a notice that said her domain name account was suspended. So that was...
Hiya -- ... Unfortunately, nothing. Basically, you have two choices. You can continue to play whack-a-mole, Google for your own content, and complain as...
A friend came across this site: http://www.paganliving.org/index.php and wrote to tell me someone who goes by "Lady Elaine" had posted some artwork of mine...
