Content Theft |

If your posting resourceful and thoughtful information for members to chew on, please make sure if using others work to give proper credit.
A member was recently removed & banned from this network for Plaigerizing the works of offered content from another networking site. I'm not going to blast the links as proof. This is the third time I have sourced offered content to discussion threads on LinkedIn. The person removed copied posts word for word and presented on their blog as their work.
Members on networking formats post and respond to topics to be resources, the names and business signatures included for that very reason. When a person "lurks" and steals offered content by others it is Plagiarism.
Plagiarism is the use or close imitation of the language and ideas of another author and representation of them as one's own original work.
If the actions of removal seem harsh, let me ask this: How would you like your contributions copied word for word and used by another as their work?
Networking is about building relationships. How do you build anything with one who may steal your work?
Nuff said.Private Reply to Kathy Buck (new win) |
