STOP THIEF!!!

I’ve been looking today online(FB where else would I be?), and of course as is usual, there comes to everyone’s attention of someone lifting whole blogs by someone else with no accreditation back to the author, but instead is posted without link back and as an original work.
Stop…THIEF!!! Yes you are. A Thief!
Anytime you post something and do not give proper credit, it is plagiarism…To claim it as your own, or even if you received it from everyone else, is wrong.  You have deprived others of knowing the original author and gaining insight from their perspectives and knowledge.  You have robbed them of all the energy and work they put into their work.  Shame on you!  There is nothing lower than a thief and a liar.  Yes..you are that as well.You do not give proper credit telling everyone about who you lifted the work in question from(in this case someone’s blog I enjoy reading very much), instead either slapping your own name to it or not naming an author at all.

Looking at your site, I see many inaccuracies about  paganism as a whole, pictures belonging to others, even works from Silver Ravenwolf(seriously?), so I’m guessing you have either not heard of the copyright infringement laws or care less.  A friend suggested that maybe you weren’t aware of them.  Ignorance of the law is not a defense(try it sometime in the mundane and see how far you get).

Maybe you think “well it’s a big pagan world so who is going to know where it came from”?  Wrong on all counts.  The pagan world is shrinking friend.  Check the friend lists on any given person you run into contact with.  See the mutual friends?  Well those friends have friends who have friends and so on, so eventually you begin to hear “It’s a small world after all” run through your head(my apologies to those who will have that looping through your head for a bit).  They in turn will notify everyone they see about your rip off and soon you will be right in the middle of one of the biggest pagan witchfuckings you would ever hope to experience, albeit from the opposite point of view you might have hoped for.

My suggestion, go back and offer apologies to those you stole from, post one on your page as well as your site, then go into each and everything you posted and credit where it came from.  If it was given to you, say so and tell whom….and then ask if someone knows where it originated.  Cultivate some ethics, and see how far you get in opening some of the doors you hang outside of, with your tongue hanging out hoping for some crumb from those you admire.  It’s worth a shot at gaining some respect, and might save you from the ass kicking you surely have coming your way.
