plagarism

[druffine]

Oh yeah and I am doing this now because PLAGARISM pisses me off to no end. original and copy.
Just compare Original chapter 2 with Copy chapter 1.
Oh btw, the webmistress already deleted her once from aff.net and she just posted back. She also deletes all bad comments. More info here, here, here and here.


This is quoted from keelywolfe's journal entry:

"Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

Article 2, section 3 on derivative works reads:

(3) Translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other alterations of a literary or artistic work shall be protected as original works without prejudice to the copyright in the original work.

What this means is despite the fact that pictures, movies, books are copyrighted, things that I write or create from those movies/books STILL has it's own enforceable copyright."

She's posting on Stepaway too. She just keeps on posting. I told Jenn she was like a mosquito, small but terribly annoying. I didn't realize how right that was.

[druffine.livejournal.com]

Well, mosquitos should be killed. I am all for making it known EVERYWHERE that she is stealing fic.

We should show her some Scooby Spirit.

I just left a comment at aff. Let's see how long it lasts up. Do you know who runs Stepaway? Need to get her skinny bum kicked off that too! LOL

[druffine.livejournal.com]

No, I have no idea who runs SAFMX. But you just posted fic to the yahoo.group, why don't you post an open request to take the fic down in the mailing list? With link to Nexus of course. I am on that list too but nobody knows me so I wouldn't have any success.

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

I'm not really active in that group though, not like I am on lj. I did go to the site and email the site manager, giving links to both Nexus and No One Else and this lj post. Hopefully that will give him/her enough information to come to their own conclusions.

If not we can always take her email and sign her up for a thousand annoying different newletters. LOL

loooool - oh that's evol. I am glad people care for the original fics and their authors in fandom.

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Yup, evol. I think Suki and Jenn are gonna work together on a fic where Spike tortures a copycat too. It'll be fun! LOL

[druffine.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw that in the comments to one of the posts. I am looking forward to it. I really don't get that she's still posting even AFTER being found out... Is she stupid or just so cold-blooded?

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

I'd go with stupid myself. LOL

SAFMX Mod List (http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/StepAwayFromMyXander/members?group=mod) ... Zus is the more active mod from what I can recall. I'm a member of the SAFMX forum but, er, brainfart and the links aren't with me at work.

It's a damn shame people can't create their own works.

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that! I emailed Zus and so we'll see what happens.

I know, if she really wanted to write I have a dozen plot bunnies and I'd be willing to give her one. It's not nice to snitch. It's one thing to do it by accident, say if you've read Nexus fifteen times or something, but she's been caught and she's still doing it. That's what gets me.

[jstabe.livejournal.com]

She changed a few words in the beginning of the fic (from the part she took from No One Else). I suppose she thinks that makes it ok.

You know, this whole Kat thing has been worth it for all the friends I've found out I have! Love the loyalty and mutual support in this community! Thanks, everyone.

I think we should have a To-You-I-Belong-a-thon; we all re-write her story, sticking to her plot exactly. I'm just torn between whether we should make them as good as possible, or go with over-the-top bad fic?
