yes. i understand my defense of plagiarism is weak. that's probably

(human) doesn't claim credit to it. i couldn't see any statement of
copyright notice. an earlier post by another forumer (which you had
rebuked) had also raised this point across - (human) is not making
money out of it. this is a public forum, it's not even his personal
domain to start out with. if there is a need to pursue
responsibility, jackson would probably need to shoulder part of it
for it's his server that hosts the
plagiarism.[/quote]
What (human) did was wrong is because at first he started quoting
with the sources and later he removed the sources when i accused
him of being unoriginal. To be fair to (human), if he had started
quoting first without citing any sources, then it would have been
understood that he CHOOSES not to cite the sources, which is fine,
but when he changed his tune halfway, that makes him look like he's
trying to take the credit. This then becomes a MORAL issue, not a
legal or commercial issue. And now he is continuing to quote
without citing the sources like the stubborn little child he
is.
i have spent enough time on this topic already. let's just
say i admit my mistake and plagiarism is very wrong. it's not my
problem you are what you are. but please stop the whacking. you are
just making yourself look bad.
Actually it's too late for that, i already look bad, i know that
(at least i know some people feel that way). But i don't care what
they think of me, i'm not here to be popular or to make friends,
i'm only here to provide my point of view, i really don't care
about popularity.
