Oh LynnT, I want to steal your Ben Franklin quote in your signature!
That is a great quote!

Take it as a compliment.

You expressed something they failed to take the time to find the creativity to do on their own. So they took the lazy, cheaten route and copied your verbiage.

It gets old after awhile, that's for sure. As to this day, I too have young & mature providers copy/paste verbatim, posts I've made.
I also have gals contact me and ask if they can use many different things I posted on my site.

Hey, if what I have to say matters that much, that you need to use as your owns. So be it. But in the end. My expressions, your expressions, won't match up to their personalities. So why use our writings as their own?

They just need to take the time to collect their thoughts and put their thoughts/ expressions into words that depict who they are/what they're about.

Me, too! That is a fabulous quote.

Is it still considered copying if it was quoted from someone else to begin with? lol

Do any of these girls have copyrights on their websites?

It would be hilarious if said provider had something like "Copyscape" on her site, yet steals content from other girls.

Good point, WM. Not everyone is creative, especially a creative writer. I know I'm not. I copy a lot because I'm not an original out-of-the-box thinker. It's not a problem if you get permission first, or attribute the writing correctly.

Nope. It's only plagiarism if you put it out there as your own. As long as you attribute it to the original author, you're OK.

Can't imagine how she sleeps at night.

I know when I first started this business I copied stuff off of websites. It didn't take long to find out it was a huge no no.

Wow, she actually showed great maturity.I am impressed that she did not fire back at you with the typical over the top defensive attitude that has become much too common in these situations.Isn't it nice when people surprise you?

Bingo....as long as credit is given to the original source there should be no problem.

I would hope they do.. I do..

Regardless if they seek permission before they use as their own *words*. It's still plagiarism. Because they're sure as heck are not going to say on their sites. *Oh by the way, the verbiage your reading on my site, is copy & pasted from lady's XYZ website or post*

They'd be foolish to attribute what's posted on their site, back to it's original author.

Since most people start out with templates and you can't copy right that, and so many look a like these days it may be more trouble and money than it is worth. I am glad she was nice enough to agree to take it down. Just remember "Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery"
Oops is that a copy right infringement. LOL.
