Post by thread:[OT] Someone is stealing my blog posts and profiti

I was doing research on DIY stuff when I came across this: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/59945_diy-through-plating-for-double-sided-pcbs "Cool!", I thought. "Might have some info I need." So I started reading it. "Wow, this dude writes like me!", I thought. Then it started getting really weird. His posts were much TOO familiar. After clicking to his "profile", I see that a LOT of his bloody posts filed under "mine" were from MY blog! They were MY posts! I don't really care - except for the fact that this guy is making money off of it. Check this dude out - http://www.bukisa.com/people/jesusspork And the damn website says "Share your knowledge, earn money". That boils my blood. Is everything these days have to do with this filth we call money? What ever happned to good ol' learning, having fun, sharing knowledge and experiencing? Some of my blog posts (with the help of you guys) have earned many thousands of views (such as the reflow soldering one as well as others). And the funny thing is - the "source" link on this jerk's page points to ITSELF. This is definitely something, my friends. -- [ solarwind ] --

They copy your posts, crack your software, advertise serials and torrent your music up on 'The Pirate Bay'. No real harm done, and you've noted previously you have no problems with most of this. Think of it as free advertising. It's probably not the first one, and won't be the last. You should see how many copies of Wikipedia there are. This may sound harsh, but many of your posts are ideas, and ideas are worth practically zero. Truly. But, it's a blog, so carry on. You're doing it for your benefit, not mine. For your PCB post, unless you actually tried any of the methods it's just a list of stuff you found elsewhere. You missed the best one - take a long piece of solid strand wire, and thread it thru all of the vias, like sewing. Solder one side then the other, and finish up by clipping off the excess. Easy, fast, cheap, works. You state that you're happy to give information away, but you failed to mention that there is a price - credit. You're unhappy because you didn't get paid. Tony

Wait, wait, so you would gladly share everything, knowledge, pictures, etc, for free, excepting money ? And keep the money because it is filthy ? While I admit that banknotes are not the cleanest common use objects (apparently computer keyboards and door handles lead here), your attitude is a little ... er ... political, no ? I mean, if you can pay bills in nature, to forego using 'filthy' money, I would like to know. Is it possible ? And, umm, what do they accept for barter ? ;P Peter

One more small detail sw: All piclist postings are archived on websites, half of which serve ads on those pages, not sharing the revenue with you, and the best way to find them is Google, which is a commercial search engine that also serves ads on each search page, *and* is one of the archive sites (on google groups). hope this helps, Peter

Yeah. I told the website guys what this idiot was doing. They first removed the page. I replied and said that all of his posts were stolen. They removed his user. Lol. Would be cool to see the look on his face!

Definitely a case of "...and how's the view from the other side?" Anyway, what theft? Nothing has been stolen, I'm sure if Solarwind checks his blog he'll find it's still all there. This is just an IP / copyright mix-up, and as 'Imaginary Property' doesn't exist and all information wants to be free, where's the problem? Tony

"learning, having fun, sharing knowledge" is not enough in real world, you need to be able to apply it (sorry for using "apply" word again). The "filth" you mentioned, measures your ability doing it, nothing more. Nothing wrong with not willing to apply the great ideas (like The Calculator), though; next generations will do, provided your ideas are really great.

Did you try it to see it it works? No sense cuttering up the world with ideas that don't. You don't need to credit me, that method has been kicking around for ages. Tony

They just create another user name, copy/paste some other blogs and problem solved. Maybe he/she has hundreds of user names created already. You never can be a winner in such situations.

If he did try it, he could also describe how it's a pain in the arse at times to thread a long piece of wire thru a PCB multiple times without it getting twisted & tangled. And if you pull the wire too tight you get a big blob of solder where the wire is too close to the PCB, making it harder to cut off and doesn't look as nice as it should.

Thought experiments have an important role in engineering. Eventually the rubber will hit the road, and lessons will be learned. I don't think he's done anything wrong - he hasn't stated that his ideas are anything more than idea on his website, and he freely admitted to you, when asked, that he has not done anything more than thought experiments. Yes, it's more stuff on the internet from an amateur, but that's the eternal September effect for you. You are likely frustrated because either: 1. He knew exactly what you meant and intentionally chose to beat around the bushes (ie, say "yes" but explanation is actually "no") 2. He has no idea what you're talking about, and it's frustrating to communicate with someone that doesn't understand what you're saying. Either way, it's frustratingly annoying. What baffles me is why people keep playing this game with solarwind when they are so obviously frustrated by it. Don't rise to the bait - he's not interested in learning on anyone else's terms. Quite frankly, a brisque attitude might be more useful here. Ignore the stupid parts, address only the meat of the ignorant parts, and roll your eyes with no further comment at the teenage-like trolling/attitude. No sense jangling your nerves on his account. -Adam
