A little while back I was directed to this URL which is a verbatim copy of a post I made to this blog a while back.
As far as I can tell, backupreview.info provides no links or references to my original post, other than naming me as the author. Where I come from that is considered unfair use at best, and copyright infringement at worst.
In the spirit of forgiveness, I decided to post a comment on their article, only to discover that they moderate comments, and appear to have rejected mine. I reproduce the comment here for completeness:
Hi,
I just thought that I would point out that this article was copied verbatim (shamelessly ripped of) from http://soren.overgaard.org/index.php/2008/06/23/privacy-and-online-backup-solutions/
As far as I can tell, you are not even providing a link back to my post.
What does that make you?
Additionally, I sent them a friendly heads up by email. Let’s see how they react.
Update:
I received the following from backupreview.info:
Hi Soren,
I apologize for not making a link. Sometimes, this happens due to failure in coordinating between admins of our site.
Thank you very much for bringing this matter to our attention. We have now corrected the post by making a link back to your site. If you rather want to completely remove your article from our site, please just reply saying “Remove”.
Thank you again.
Best regards,
Looks like a simple mistake on their part. They have corrected the contents and are now providing links. No harm done.
