I just love the following article!
http://www.hyderabadtechies.info/index.php/articles/39-articles/747-hyderabad-techies-article
Wish I had thought of it :doze:
The author 'kaustavm' is clearly one to watch 😉

Unbelievable. Have you sent him a friendly cease and desist yet?

Yup. You never have to look very far when you're dealing with these kinds of people. They never get caught the first time. One guy I discovered a while ago had even gotten a book published. The entire thing was lifted from other sources. I would really, really love to spend a few minutes with some of these guys, beating some sense into them with a blunt object or two...

What amazes me is how totally lazy and shameless they are. The plagiarism of Paul's article was a wholesale cut-and-paste.

Part II plagiarized here

http://www.hyderabadtechies.info/index.php/articles/39-articles/748-hyderabad-techies-article

Can't register on the site due to errors.

Does US copyright law hold any credence in India?

It's so cut-n-paste that in the "End of Part One" section, the link to Part II points back here to ssc.com!!!

Be of good cheer, Paul. I think it was Jeff who said that the next level in resumé credentials is being able to point to how many places where people have stolen your stuff.

Yes, there is that :laugh:

But seriously, I checked the link and that rancid sack of excrement indeed lifted your article in its entirety and published it under his name. What a pathetic waste of breathable air.

It is pretty shameless, I agree.

How did you find out about it, anyway?

I wondered if my article would come up in a Google search - it did, right at the top (good on yer Google!) and the copy-and-paste came second! I was mildly surprised.

I have indeed. Hopefully the site administrators will do the decent thing.

Absolutely amazing. I would use his 'own' book as my blunt instrument of choice 😉

Thank you Jason.

I have just received a very apologetic email from the site administrator. He has promised to take down the offending content and 'warn the user'. I'll be sure to check!

Hmmm, so he got you too - looks like a serial plagiariser!

You can email the site admin at chandrashekarthota@gmail.com
