COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT -
PLAGIARIZED CONTENT
MESSAGE TO WEB DESIGNERS:
PLEASE CREATE YOUR WEBSITE USING YOUR OWN
WORDS, NOT MINE!
It has taken several long years to create, design, research and write
this website, which is of course ongoing. This site contains extensive
information, written in my own words and style, with the exception of specific
articles, flyers and testimonials (reproduced with permission and/or source
acknowledgement).
Being such a huge website makes this body of work a target for copy/pasting
by amateur web designers who refuse to take the time to research and write
data in their own words. These people think stealing an authors work is
meaningless, quick and easy to duplicate, and that there will be no ramifications.
Breach of copyright is a serious offense. Plagiarized content is unacceptable.
Copy/pasting info from someone else, apart from being unethical and
unprofessional, can potentially seriously damage the body of work that
has taken so very long to create and present in concise and easily understood
form. Several technical reasons include search engine robots and ranking.
Another reason is that web surfers are turned off by having to read identical
duplicate content over and over that is posted on multiple sites.
We understand that some people think it is ok as they honestly have
no clue that copy/pasting is wrong. We also understand that others practice
this deceitful action knowing full well what they are doing!
Some people steal entire pages, whilst others take paragraphs. Some
people copy/paste info and apply it to imitation machines or completely
different products.
I have a computer program that i run occasionally to see exactly
who and what specifically has been taken without permission.
Plagiarism and copy/pasting of information,
data and images from this website will not be tolerated or dismissed.
If you really want to use some specific information found within any
website, please send an email permission request to the author and if approved,
include the source of the info out of professional respect to both the
author and the reader.
Info on this site may be printed out, but may not be copy/pasted
to another website under any circumstances.
NOTE:
1) 98% of offenders apologize and remove the stolen info immediately.
2) The 2% that refuse are reported to their website host, HTE
and all advertisers, websites and trade organizations associated with the
offender.
3) If the offender still refuses to comply, legal action regarding
breaches in copyright will be pursued.
Thank you to my fellow professional web designers and writers for your
support and and expertise. You well understand the challenges and frustrations
that go with our work in cyberspace!
Same day response.
