A chap who calls himself
Lazz-0 has been a bit lazy. And has managed to lift two of my posts verbatim, one with photos included and posted them to his blog. The links to these posts are P220 ride and Honda future. I can also spot a couple of other posts that may been inspired by my blog. I want you guys to do two things.
- Please visit our sneaky pal and check that he hasn't been mooching off your blog
- Please click on the Flag Blog link right at the top (blue bar) to let the chaps at blogger know that they a moocher on their hands.
Also, do you guys (especially the web savvy ones) know how I can prevent this kind of theft?
You think the following posts of his are not lifted as is from other places/mags?

What a looser. If he is so keen on sharing such perf figures, how about getting some equipment for himself and then testing the bikes and then sharing the figures, instead of being a copy cat.
@Rearset: If you are going to show the contents on net, expect them to get copied. Depends on how you show them, will decide the difficulty level to copy.

Hmmmm Sad I say. But thats the way it is rearset. I have images which I have painfully clicked all over the net playing lead images for various orkut communities. Other mouthshut articles and stuff.
ReplyDeleteWell there is nothing one can do. I guess the best thing is that people can see through such f***heads mate! Now you know why we seal and lock every page of the emag? Hehehe
How about this -
ReplyDelete* you go on a group ride
* and write a trip log & post in the blog
* a fellow rider, changes your name to his in the post
* and publishes it as his own!
