Turnleaf Design Ramblings of a junior developer

Plagiarism doesn’t pay

I was informed today by one of the commenters on my site that two of my articles have been plagiarized. The author, Marius Stanciu - Sergiu, of the ironically named www.code-purity.com (purposefully not linked), seemed to like my articles; 7 tips for every person wishing to be a programmer, and 8 tips for new programmers so much, that he decided to take them as his own (The offending content on his site is in the “Tips for Junior Programmers” article). Like all other bloggers, my site is entirely based upon content, by plagiarizing my work he, and all those who plagiarize, discourages creativity as the creators of the content are not rewarded for their hard work. Even the content itself is damaged to a degree as it is being associated with shady characters. If you have something you want to add to my article, positive or negative, feel free to reference what I have to say just give a link back to my site (like this), but don't quote my (or anybody's) article verbatim and not link back to my site. Ever.
