Plagiarism is as dishonourable as any other type of theft, even if you change a few words to make it “appear original” before posting: it is still theft: and in any case, there is no need – most sites invite copying with proper attribution to the source. The simple rule is “Give credit where credit is due”, i.e. simple decency.

i read ur comment, as we all know now a days copy pasting is usual on online world. It would be great if the copy pasting person take pain in mentioning the original source of his work, its a way to express one’s gratitude to a person who put one’s energy and time in bringing the topic on sharing plateform. Copy pasting without mentioning the source is not good. I went through you blog its good and practical. wish u good luck and thanks for sharing information

Hi Shilpa,

I totally agree with you..rules should be the same for everyone.Since yahoo is accessed by millions of people all over the world,its all the more reason for them to be extra careful and double check all thier contents before publishing.I wonder what would have been their reply if the content provided to them was lifted from some equally popular site like rediff.

I am a regular follower of your blog and I understand the time and effort you must be putting in to help others in their cooking ventures and its really unfair that such efforts should be copied without even askin for permission.

I totally agree Shilpa! Yahoo should have displayed better coutesy by apologizing and more closely examining the matter- it was not hard to see how blatant the copying was when I saw it!! Every blogger spends a lot of time and effort for every page that is contained in their blog, and this work should not be borrowed without permission- just good manners!! But I say it is a far greater shame to have to steal, than be stolen from…these people obviously have no creativity or diligence to complete something of their own- that is a shame!

Shilpa, let’s hope our effort in fighting plagiarism gains momentum and gathers support.

Btw, all the best with the watermarking software your working on.

Hi Shilpa,

I definitely support all bloggers against plagiarism. It can be very discouraging when ones creation & hard work is copied without permission & no apologies too!!
