It is not the fact that I would be upset if someone used something I created without giving me credit as much as if they were making money off of it. If someone copied something I said then I would not care at all, however if they used my ideas to cash in, then I would be upset. I understand the importance of plagiarism, I mean if someone used my words in a book that made money then I would want a piece of the action but that is just the greediness coming out of me, which I’m sure everybody has a little in them. I have seen on TV and the internet where people are suing others for using their ideas in movies and stealing their songs to make hits, but my thought in all of that is they should have been smart about it. If they didn’t get it copy written or have documents stating when they did something before passing their ideas on then it’s their loss. If I design something, then go telling people how I did it and they take the idea and run with it then whose fault is it that I didn’t get anything out of it? I have worked at many places where I had to sign a letter of privacy so I won’t tell anybody else what is going on behind those walls. And as far as the internet goes, if you don’t want anybody to know what you are doing then don’t post it. Unless someone actually steals your folders that have all your personal stuff in there, then I don’t feel bad at all for those people crying that someone stole their ideas. Whatever I write or whatever anybody takes from me that I have laying there for everybody to get their hands on is my own fault. So I feel as if somebody write stuff and has it copy written or published and someone uses their words to make money then actions should be taken, however if no money is made, then no harm no foul.
