3. That's wrong in so many ways
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 10:51 AM by Julius Civitatus
Where to start?

  • Anything you publish on your own blog is your intellectual property. There's a huge "copyright" sign at the bottom of every page in my blog, just in case this wasn't clear enough. Ripping off the same bloggers he claims to like and support seems to me contradictory and hypocritical.
    That is not fair game. Some people may even call it plagiarism.

  • Should I be all happy that a big-time media figure plagiarized my work, almost word-by-word? You wouldn't be so jolly if it happened to you. These things matter.

  • While KO may have mentioned some doubts or displeasure at the timely terror alerts, he didn't make a report about until October 2005. Interestingly enough, he cites the same examples and sources I use, one by one. Come on now!
I do like his show and watch it often, although I don't have the teenage fan attitude you seem to profess about KO. This guy makes lots of money in a big network, and it is not right to take the work of left-of-center blogs, the same ones that have promoted his show for years, and rip it off without attribution.

It's not fair.
