Misleading information is a big downer in blogging.  Never try to be libellous lest it invites trouble from individuals and corporates

Good compilation. Should also add - "When you say review my blog and I will review yours" - Follow it!

It happened recently that a post published on my blog was copy-pasted by someone on his blog. It was such a disgusting feeling to see that act of him. I had never thought there are people copying stuff like that! What can be done to stop this? How could one get copyrights on his/her blog? Fellow bloggers, need your advice.

OMG! I am visitng this forum after a looooong time, and I was amazed that this thread is still alive. I guess people love to dwell on basics that make sense even after a long time.

Blogging was meant to be personal. And accepting praise and criticsim equally is a quality every blooger should posses that's the only way he can get better and improve in the true sense.Having said that great useful post Amitabh :)Cheers !!!!http://ravisadrani.wordpress.com

the blpg is personal, but when we write a post and post it, it becomes public, then it is open to all types of criticism and appraisal, both should be taken in teh right spirit, to improve our blogging capabilities.

When we talk about moderation, let me tell you one thing my friend. The concept of blogging is actually free of any kind of moderation. Whether to read a blog or not should actually be the discretion of the reader. In this world we are transfering the onus of censorship to the readers. This is more logical and more open.

True! but you are reading someones blog with a certain set of expectations!!!

Its like you go on a date with a cute chick you met on internet and when you meet her, she actually turns out to be a pot bellied 'he'... Now no body forced you to go out on a date but you did with a certain expectations and for the hopes of betterment... but you did feel cheated by this situation, didnt you???

@aashish - mentioning in each blogpost the source even if it is email forward should do the trick...

Thank you! I did suggest the same to the owner, who was adamant otherwise... but to no avail... And what saddens me is that people actually think that this is his original work and applaud him for that!!! and his is, as proclaimed on the blog, a very popular site... which means that that many people are getting duped!!!

@ALL

 

Recently I came across a very popular blog on Indiblogger itself. The owner posts a certain humorous variation of articles and till now I was very much impressed with most of the content as I, among many others, was under the impression that it was his original content. Couple os days back, though, I came across some content which I definitely knew was a chain mail forward and had been pasted in the post without acknowledging so. When asked, I was referred to their disclaimer tab, which points out that most of the content is indeed mail forwards and that the author has not right over the matter but them being mail forwards for ages, no one knows the original author and hence no copyright violation.

 

I, still, do not think that the 'disclaimer' pardons the owner from not mentioning the same in the post especially when most of the readers never read the disclaimer part and hence are under the illusion that the content is original.

 

I would like to have some views on this!!!

Copy pasting on a blog! Is lame!
