Well well well. A kid had the nerve to steal my post.
My post about teaching your cat to give a handshake was blatantly copied, word for word. He even direct-linked my picture sheesh! I didn’t even realise my .htaccess was missing from my folder (for those donno, .htaccess can block people from using your images and waste your bandwidth).
The funny thing is, he’s a 16-year old kid from PJ and if you read the post, it seems that he has a son name Jordan too (since he didn’t even bothered to change anything).
Haiya, how to progress lah Malaysians like this? Always want to find a short-cut and want to be spoon-fed. Even if you want to steal people’s content, at least try to put some effort into it!
I see he has a lot of posts in his blog but now I suspect that they are all his. Anyway, my plan of action.
Hmmmm… though I’m not that angry over being copied, I’m surprised that a kid would want to copy my posts… does that mean my style caters to the younger generation? I should apply as a columnist in a teen magazine if that’s the case :P
Anyway, here’s a screen capture of his blog (click to see full size).
Posts too long, 2nd half down here.

No big surprise…especially since he’s a kid. If you really think about it, he probably has no idea about copyright laws, etc…you are definitely correct to contact him & let him know before you take any other steps.
What’s happening with this? Has he responded?

wow. so fast you commented on my post hehe.
anyway, i was checking out his other posts and found out he copied many, many posts from http://trent.blogspot.com/ (pink is the new blog). hmmm now im wondering if i should let the webmaster know about this.
regarding his response, let’s give him at least a day shall we? he’s probably sleeping now, getting ready for school tomorrow heehee.

I didn’t know ppl could actually copy one’s post. I mean you hv your own blog, so you write your own stuff right? I enjoy reading your blog, that I linked you to my blog. Hope you don’t mind since I didn’t get yr permission.

Nessa, linking back to me (or any other site for that matter) is not stealing. it’s actually promoting and encouraged to do as it benefits me because you’re helping to drive traffic to my site :)
Kay, in your WP dashboard, there’s an “incoming links” section. that’s where i found out about the site. i think it’s because of the image he used straight from my own domain.
azlan, i’m gonna leave this case as it is. sorry im not deleting this post (don’t worry, i don’t have thousands of readers and rest assured you won’t get infamous)

Biarlah dia tu - blog dia pun macam kurang steam sudah.
