Oh the scandalo! Oh the drama (minggu ini!)
Sometimes there are some people who uses my picture in their website. While I cant really stop people from right clicking and saving it for their own uses, most of the times I don’t really mind it so much though since I’ve watermarked my pictures. Having it watermarked makes the images have a little bit of a semblance that the images belonged to me. So that I don’t get completely ripped off by some people.
What would be polite though is to use the images on their own host instead of leeching from my webhost. And a link back would be nice too.
In any case, yesterday, I received a very interesting message by someone who googled “Malacca Road trip“. The first time I skimmed through the offender’s site, I thought that she and I probably just had parallel interests. But reading carefully, I spotted a number of similarities.
So today, I’d to share with you this very interesting discovery (channel!)
This is hers
Sleep for 4.5 hours still can be groggy one ah?
This is mine
Mmm … I would love some Briyani right now.
This is hers
This is mine
Maybe I can give her my own home made chendol.

She’s obviously a very capable sex-change surgeon
This is hers

And she also has a diploma in ctrl+c

Mr Komodo Dragon is femes!
Plagiarism or no?
I wrote my blog post in June 2007 while she in September 2009. I guess with all her travelling, she’s just too tired to write her own blogpost
I have to give credit to her though, she does take nice pictures.
Actually, I’m more amused than anything else. This means that I am FEMES! And people want to copy me! Yay!
maybe people england no good, so must kopy
Then drink kopi lor, get more inspiration to write 😀
Looks like you provide inspiration for aspiring travel bloggers!
Haha, I guess so *head swells*
Wah! Lame siak ….. copy other people. Send her to detention class!!
I don’t think she’s lame, can walk what? :p
Wah!! So copy cat!! If she’s too lazy to write her own blog, then why bother creating a blog? Tsk..tsk..tsk…
That’s the thing. Its not like my writing is such a literary genius. Oh well, maybe she doesn’t want to spend the time and brain cells thinking about what to write.
Marina..I can only say her otak is beku ;(
Wah, you know Malay! What’s that in Italian? Cervello gelato? 😀
I studied Malay in school and also because my parents are Chinese Indo. In Italiano.. hmm.. cervello congelato??! ;p
Yucks. I hate copycats. But I’m glad you took in stride… you ARE famous so who cares about her. 😛 Only the good get copied! 🙂
Aiyah, not so femes lah 😛
In Italy no one asked me to do Blogger Engagements or sponsorships yet :-p
Seems like she was too lazy to write her own post, she cut and paste. Maybe the other parts are from other people’s blog posts too. That’s a shame. If you can’t create your own material you shouldn’t blog. Paraphrasing is one thing but this is definitely plagiarism.
The thing is, its so easy to copy and paste. Right click and save pics. Even if blog owners do a script to prevent this, there will still be ways to overcome this scripts. We are all screwed in this department.
I think the only way to deal with this is to spread awareness.
That’s true. I just hope for the best. I have found my content republished without my permission. They tried to hide it by changing some of the words with synonyms.
tsk tsk, too much ctrl c & ctrl v from her…
but yeah, look on the bright side, you are femes 😛
Not femes enough wor, so far I’m not even making enough to cover hosting plans :p
Habis kobis betul this kopykat.
Like that just copy the whole thing sia. Maybe she don’t have any creative juices.
Makes you wonder if all her other posts are of her own.
Camat Hari Raya 🙂
Or like I said, after travelling so much, got tired of writing her own post :p
Selamat Hari Raya Sha! Wah, lama kita berkawan belog eh? 😀
If she’s copied your work in a qualitatively significant fashion, SUE.
*sorry doing IP law at the mo*
