Blogpost Grabber

Hmp, somebody copied one of my blog entries and reposted it in his own site. That wasn’t nice of him huh? How could he do that ? After I labored and slaved to compose that entry and he just copied and pasted it ? What nerve and gall !

I told my brother about it and he told me that the culprit probably did not copy and pasted my entry but rather he used a software which grabs posts from other blogsites because as bloggers, having more posts in our sites would mean more traffic, more visitors. I was amazed at this new technology but I was also enraged because it seemed that some unscrupulous people are out there who are profiting from the works of innocent people like me.

As of this moment , I really don’t know what I will do about this “blog-entry grabber” but the only thing I know is that I have posted this entry in two of my sites and I am its one and only author.

Just a reminder too for people who have this penchant for copy pasting, please don’t do it. Those are not your work and thus you do not have the right to post it to some other sites. I will also be revising some entries that I made here since some of them has some copied texts since I wanted to be as accurate as possible when I am stating something very important like USCIS fees, so I copied and pasted some articles. I still have to check if they gave the public the permission to reprint it. But as advised by my brother, one can only quote a certain part of these texts but not copy the article in its entirety.

This is my lesson of the day.
