EarWig / LMTU wrists are mightily slapped on BAHT STOP ...

EarWig / LMTU has been a very naughty boy (allegedly) .... Hedda does not approve .... Baht-Stop owner(s) lay down the law: "Loud Mouth Plagiarizers Not Allowed"

Lots of fun: http://www.baht-stop.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=799

And more ... and more!!: Then ... EarWig (just getting in under The Banning) starts to get "funny-in-the-head" in explaining, and defending, himself (AKA: "trying to crawl out of it"): http://www.baht-stop.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=796 (Great for a snowy Sunday afternoon between Tiger Woods' sublime golf shots and NBC's never-ending commercials)

and it looks most unsavoury !

who on earth are these people ?

Earwig ?, Gaybutton ? dollypardon ? The Yenta ? Uncle Sam ? Hedda ? silly names for silly people. Don't they have a life ?

It's enough to drive you to drink reading garbage like that :drunken:

I love it...Hedda asking for one of her patented apologies. Hehehe.

\\\"Im so sorry if I have offended any one.

It is such a shame when some one like me and a few others do not understand fully the legal ramifications of writing to an open forum, I only hope any one who quotes me will give me a mention in future.

I have now just found out that a major writer on this channel who is NOT or does not copy verbatim what is said, you have to rehash it in your own words, I had no idea!! even though I have seen it so cleverly done for years, thank you for all your interest in me. I hope this is in keeping with my apology I do humbly hope Im forgiven.

I had better say this was cut and pasted from this site http://www.baht-stop.com/forums/index.p ... owforum=11 (http://www.baht-stop.com/forums/index.php?s=a6b668b46163a3a1edc6f2bf1ca4671b&showforum=11)
I don\\\'t think earwig has copyrighted it as yet!

I wonder if anyone other than Smiles and earwig will find this fun. Mind you, I have not read it all and several posters there are on my IGNORE. Mai pen Rai

I don\'t think earwig has copyrited it as yet!

An original work does not have to be "copyrighted" (note correct spelling) does not need to be registered. Copyright exists upon creation.

[Lunchtime O'Booze]

Very true ! But the idea of anything being orginally created in Thailand is about as likely as Mrs O'Boozes boobs being her original ones !

Right you are! Hedda is well know to snatch bits of pieces from the news media in order to sew together his editorials/insane ramblings. One day he will be in big trouble.

The legal worries of plagiarism on that board crack me up. As if anybody but Fat old bored expats read that board.

Just thought I'd be as helpful as you usually are, BG.

I just read some definitions on copyright and they all infer that it is a legal grant confirming that a person or company own the rights to any work. It may well be that in some countries it exists on creation but not in all. In the UK, short extracts of works are permitted to review of comment on a topic or work.

Modern communications are eroding the real effectiveness of copywright. Presumably if copywright is breached then the originator is due compensation for any financial loss. If he has published something free on the internet, as many journals and newspapers do, then this would be nil or very little indeed. I can\\\'t see anybody being upset at newspaper articles being copies and pasted onto specialist low volume sites such as this. Even Hollywood and the Popular Music industry are flailing around not knowing what to do as their intellectual rights are copied and sold cheaply or made freely available on the Internet.

Where will it all end? Whatever, I doubt that earwig will be jailed for his plagiarism - accidental or deliberate.

all those poor stallholders in Bangkok with their Rolex watches bandied together and sued those plaigerising thieves in France who copy their beautiful timepieces.

have you ever heard of advertising - it produces quite a lot of revenue for newspaper/magazine web sites and is lost when the content is reproduced in full on another site and is doubly lost if the source is unattributed, whereas if part of the article is quoted or commented on and the source arrtibuted then the content producer has a good chance of a site visit and some ad revenue as well as the visitor reading more content on the site, visiting the site again, etc

there are also intagibles like "brand" and "reputation" which do not benefit when content is reproduced unattributed

As the policeman said when he saw george michaels cock in the cottage....


" much ado about nothing"

[Lunchtime O'Booze]

the Oddfellows Association,( which has nothing to do with this,) however, I believe the general rule of thumb is that when using something from another website , normal practise is to use three paragraphs as a taster so to speak-and then post a link. This has the advantage of grabbing the attention of the reader and then urges them to visit the original website and thus benefiting their advertisers so would confirm what bkkguy is saying.

Mind you this comes Mrs O'Booze who is not always truthful.

Nope. She banned.

"'Starts' to get funny in the head..." Starts? Starts!!!

LMAO!... (And, being a wee slip of a thing, I haven't much to laugh off!) But what struck me funny (Funnier--Since I'm 'funny' already.) was The Ghost of Joan Crawfish in her infamous, come-fuck-me-pumps, one imagines, suggesting, he (La Wig) wouldn't be forgiven if he walked naked through Sunnee Plaza carrying a sign that said, "Thrash me!"
:whdat: I have a feeling he wouldn't need the sign; walking naked, anywhere ... Hell, in a nudist colony!... would get him thrashed soundly! Unless that's, as in, "Thrash me!", but, please, don't throw rotten pomelo or durian!"

It's the funniest thing since...since...Pearl got her tit caught in the wringer! (What's a, wringer? :scratch: )
