Subject: We should have a contest to find ripped off pages

Written By: ChuckyG on 01/09/04 at 01:13 p.m.

I was doing a web search today, wondering about something from "West End Girls" and came across a web page called "Places from 80s Songs" which looked oddly familar. It (along with a few dozen other pages) was copied straight from inthe80s without even a credit as to where he stole them from. He had a whole section of biographies ripped straight from allmusic too. I don't even want to think of how many sites out there "borrow" pages off my sites without even acknowledging the original location.

I don't personally have any sites, but I imagine its pretty frustrating when you're not given your props. I know that it takes work to have a good site up and running.
Maybe you could contact them and ask them why they feel the need to steal someone's info w/ out giving credit?  :-/

Chucky, I'm with you!  I will help you lead the rebellion!   >:(

Honestly, what will it hurt them to at least ask?  I can tell lots of energy goes into this site.  To rip it off is lame.

I see that all the time, going to different sites and seeing copied pages, I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating it is when someone takes that info without giving credit where credit is due. One person works to get a site up and someone else just thinks it free buffet night at Ceasar's Palace!!!!! I'll help out if I can.
