Has your work ever been plagiarized?
nfnaaron: Not my work, but I posted something on a dial up ISP's forum years ago, and a reader there posted it to alt.humor.best-of-usenet. I did a search a few years later, and found it word for word posted on some advocacy site in Washington DC, attributed to a woman who was not me.I emailed the group, made my case with proof, and said I'd be flattered if they kept it up with proper attribution. I don't recall hearing back, but they took it down pretty quick. I imagine the "author" was a little embarrassed.I just searched best-of-usenet, but now it's Google, you know, so I wasn't surprised not to find it. I did find it out on the wider web, so, for historical accuracy, it survives here:http://www.mail-archive.com/law-issues@mylist.net/msg00390.h...(scroll down to You Always Remember Your First)
