A quick question...

[JCD]

Wouldn't it be illegal for a member of this site to copy a review (or several for that matter) from Gamespot and post it in it's entirety, with no changes and no credit to the author as a member review?

 

[LinksOcarina]

Thats techniclly plagiarism, so yes.

 

[JCD]

I thought as much. But now I'm not sure what to do. This is going on and I don't want to be an ass and reveal exactly who is doing it, but I still cannot allow it to continue...

Report it to the GMs by PM and let them take care of it.

I wouldn't dream of publicly posting it. I suppose informing the GMs is the morally correct thing to do.

Just say who it is. If they are doing something wrong, let the world know and let the punk get what's coming to him.

I wouldn't dream of publicly posting it.

Why not? Publicly posting the fact that bramon has been illegally copying Gamespot reviews isn't that bad, is it?

^ I see what you did there.

 

[JCD]

So do I. It's subtle, but it works.

 

[dUKE]

plagiarism is definitely not ok.

it is copyright infringement, and we would comply with any subpoena to help discover the real identity of the person engaged in illegal activity.
