I realised my posts have been a bit on the grumpy side this week, so to make amends here is something funny.
Oh, one more thing: I had a thought about YouTube – could it be the modern equivalent of asking someone back to look at your etchings? Will we see young men in pubs, sidling up to girls and saying things like ‘hey baby, come back to my place and I’ll show you my video mashups’.

You have read my complaints about sploggers who scrape blog posts to fill their nasty little blogs, but there is another menace to bloggers: people who take your work, remove your byline and post it in forums or even on their own site. I have just discovered that someone has done this with an article of mine. What’s even worse, somehow they had even managed to mangle the formatting so it looked like crap. GRRRRR!
It really bloody annoys me when people seem to think that something you have worked long and hard on can be stolen from you simply be ‘it’s neat’ or ‘kinda cool’. Or mainly because they are too damn lazy to write their own content. Writers work for a living just the same as plumbers or teachers! Just because it may seem easy and even fun (yeah right) does not mean someone can steal from us.
Oh, and if you happen to be the sort of person who goes in for such bone idle copy and paste jobs ask yourself how you would feel if your boss decided not to pay you at the end of the month? Would you take it on the chin or be extremely pissed off?
OK rant over, sorry about that. I really needed to vent.
