Most of my posts are sparked off by an article or a blog post and I wouldn't dream of not recognising the original But I guess the plagiarisers plagiarise because they choose too and not because linking is difficult. <BR/><BR/>Passing them by in future is a good response.CalumCarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225196825182106348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21660941.post-37979883844105413852008-07-29T17:59:00.000+01:002008-07-29T17:59:00.000+01:00I think the national media assume that anything pu...I think the national media assume that anything published on the web is open source public material and they don't need to credit it as they would a published author. <BR/><BR/>I have sent stories from my blog to The Times diary and been paid for it. Maybe that's what these guys should do to take control of their editorial content. Journalists are used to paying a tip off fee, but using a blog instead to publish some juicy gossip means Iain et al are selling themselves short.Ellee Seymourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647480320978146418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21660941.post-3484795892401696382008-07-29T00:49:00.000+01:002008-07-29T00:49:00.000+01:00This is a problem.

And most people don't mind a bit as long as you cite them and give them a little plug in the process.<BR/><BR/>Another example of the erosion of courtesy and ethics in daily life.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine, who was a WWII POW, had his book used by a major historian as a main source for a chapter in the historian's book. The historian never bothered to ask, never attempted to contact the POW, and when the POW contacted him, promised to send him a book---but never did.
