>> scan it and publish it on Lulu under my own name

I had that happen to me!

Some Australian fellow copy-pasted my entire book and re-published it with Lulu in his own name, and put his own Copyright on it!

I think that all publishers should be required to check for plagiarism before they print a book!

Lulu is a very irresponsible publisher. . . .

Yes, it happens far too often to me.

But Tim you are getting experienced with this. I think it happened earlier also. You may write a book on blog copyright laws

Too bad that this is not the case so we still have to buy our boats at . They are really fun to have in bath.

Point is that some of us put a lot of energy and expensive – private – time in those articles and books. Some others use their time to make quick copies of it and even make money out of that.

The effect could very well be that no one is going to take the time to make those useful publications any more, leaving the community in the cold. Original content with original views and opinions are important to have, assuming that they are correct.

The point is, my article is available for everyone to read and use on my website. You are free to write your own on the same subject. You are not free to copy my article and change the screen grabs and call it your own.

You are also free to post a link to my article, then write a, “these are the things that are wrong or missing from Tim’s article”, if you feel the need. People may find that useful. It is the wholescale copyinh of copyright content that is the issue.

Fair use policy and derivative works policy are covered specifically in the DMCA rules.

If you had provided a picture of you on the john I would have put it in the Data Guard post. Anyway, your valuable prose would still be there to guide in the cobweb of darkness as it still is your work.

Laurent: It calls into question everything the guy has ever published. I feel sorry for his publisher, collaborators and employer, whose reputations can be affected by these sort of actions. I would never employ him, or a company that employs him.

Your post is a serious treat to his blog, one may prefer tarring and feathering

If yes, its just so bad and after reading the comments on Teymur’s blog, the way he has responded about the whole thing, nothing much seems to be left to comment about it! Bad, really a bad act!
