I started to blog since end of last year – December. From then on, my blog traffic has been growing steadily but not as high as 5xmom, hongkiat and kennysia but I’m still happy.

I’m happy for who I am and for what I did though not famous. Opss.. I should say I am not famous YET! So it never cross my mind to have my blog post use by others especially the media. Just take a look at KY’s blog. TheStar used his post heavily and  without inform him up front. For me, it is still ok since TheStar’s writer did quote KY’s blog though she did it without KY’s prior knowledge.

I really don’t mind if TheStar were to use my blog post without my knowledge. But what I really care and mind and piss me off is when someone took my whole blog posts and directly pasted to his blog. 100% copy and paste and without due credits given to me or quoted samyeap.com.

The 100% pencetak rompak!

The above post is about Fala Chen. My post about her is here. The words, sentences, content and pictures are exactly the same as mine.

Now that was not the only one. There were another 2 post in his blog that copy and paste 100% from samyeap.com

samyeap.com Mamma Mia post is here. Take a look.

This is the Moonlight Resonance post taken directly from here in samyeap.com.

Though the author of the blog did apologies but I found his reasons or rather excuses, amusing!

Lazy to type wor….

Didn’t realise this website is a blog wor?

Hey dude, please google the word plagiarism, you plagiarist!

Now, my beloved readers please tell me.

Have you encounter such people before? You whack them or not?

Sigh!

Hey bro, I really feel tulan eventhough thats not me. I would really go and whack him if. If.

plagiarism is a very serious crime nowadays. But I’m wondering what do we bloggers have to protect ourselves against this? What do we do if this happens? I mean like there’s no online police or United Online Nation or ISA(internet security act) or what shit. There just none.

This happens quite frequently. Sometimes is done manually and sometimes is done by scraper programs.

It is something quite serious especially for blogs and websites. I heard that Google will penalize websites for having duplicate content, so this affects your PageRank.

We should never be happy for people to copy our stuff. Refer to us and link to us, ok. Copy, never.

As for the person who copied your stuff because he was too lazy to type… I will tell him that he has no business starting a blog. Better work at photostat shop la.

My blog is being plagiarized too by a free blogspot user. In order to complain and get the offending blog removed I saw that A LOT of things are required to file an official complain.

I see liao also feel lazy to do that, sien. One thing you can do is to watermark your posts with a siggy (image type better) linking to your blog, so it’d appear also in the copycat’s.

penang tuapui – Next time, I will ask your help to silence the plagiarist. :)

Kuen Hoong – that fella copy the whole articles which included a link to my other post. That link backtrack to my blog. That’s how I get to know the copycat fella.

TNH- ya la.. but he didn’t stated my blog’s name ler.

Jordan – Thanks for left comment on this blog. Yup you are right. In this country, there is ISA ( Internal Security Act) not the Internet Security Act. Else, I will sue plagiarist. Wakakaaa.a…

blah blah king – tulan is already tulan la. Where got happily tulan one? :P

Adino – well said. I should have tell him to open photostat shop. hehehe.. oh.. thanks for making comment over here.

vkeong – ic.. but what is siggy? mind to share? I’m still young in this blogging things.

At least you are luckier than me, you received an apology from the person.

A few of my post were copied together with all my yummy food photos altogether. I wrote to the person to have it all remove, just what… I did not even receive any apology and the posts are still there until today :( :(

ahh, teruk. I experienced the same type of plagiarism experience before. Contact the person and request that those posts be taken out usually solves the problem.

How would you consider the whole post being copied but translated in different languages? I had mine in German and Japanese before but I did nothing as both of them were courteous enough to leave me a link each.

You just can’t stop people from plagiarizing anything from the net. Even using Wikipedia as reference without linking back to them as acknowledgment is considered plagiarism. How many people really take that seriously nowadays? Haiz…
