If You're Going To Steal Content - At Least Read It First!!!

Some people are just plain stupid lazy!

I ran across this press release today for an article directory. Funny thing is, the content was taken directly from the home page of one of my article directories.

In fact, if you look at the last paragraph, it even has my URL in it!!!

LMAO - If you're gonna plagiarize, at least read what you're stealing, that way you won't look like an idiot and/or waste your money on a press release.

    This reminds me of when I was surfing pictures of people's failed exams, essays, assignments and the whole nine yards. Someone payed for an essay to be written for them, but handed it in under the alias of the true writer. Some people just are not capable of thinking that far ahead.

    I am wondering if he has received a call or email yet??[}]

    You know I may be new to this whole IM business and I am concentrating on article marketing to get the ball rolling. But I honestly can't see the point in using someone elses work. If scratch that, when I start making money online I want the satisfaction of knowing that it was my work that did it. Not someone elses.

    Allen, you're quite obviously an independent thinking, highly creative, intelligent individual. There is a cost involved in being such an individual though. You find yourself surrounded (not on this forum) by a world filled with bewildered herdlings too lazy, stupid, or unmotivated to create anything of value themselves. They are the beggar-looter class and their numbers are myriad.

    So thank your lucky stars that you are one of the intelligenstia rather than one of the parasite class. The price of that lies in dealing with the frustrations of such loathsome insects. It is a fair trade I should think!

    Wow...leaving the affiliate links in the articles they stole now that takes the cake. Still a very big issue with people just taking your content and contending it is there own....one issue im not liking in IM.
