Internet Robbery (Again ?!)

[Olivier]

Angelo Totti:
>>your site is not interesting enough to steal
Don's site is great. If  you don't like it, fine. Nobody has to like everything.
But no point getting insulting & personal.
Acknowledge your having pulled out the plug & the pages.
But you latest message shows you're not getting the point.
(So that I wonder why you even deleted everything, since you allegedly don't care)

>>>When Mr. Totti steals a person's work, he steals that person's livelihood.
>No. The sites I used don't make the living of anyone.
But it was their *lives*. What they spent hours working one just ofr the fun of  it
and the pleasure of  sharing it with total stranger who share the same interest and
thereby become friends.

>>But they still will be done, even if anyone can use
>>the work. Because lots of people just have nothing else to do.
Hey!
We're not sitting idle at our computers all day long! We *work*!
I could certainly use the time I spend replying you or scanning
& cleaning up images doing what others would deem "more important things".
But-- well, I just said it supra...

>>The #%$£~@!§ people are not those who use the works of
>>others but the ones who harass others because they steal their texts or images.
Sadly a common thing nowadays: the victims are accused of  tormenting the offenders...
And again: "steal".
So you really, definitely, proudly claim you *are* a thief, a pirate and so forth?

>>You make something publicly available and then pretend to keep
>>an absolute full control on it. I say that is stupid on the Internet.
Again, totally besides the point.
The problem is not "quoting".
The problem is making visitors believe you're the author of  things you've simply stolen.

>>I reserve me the right of using any information I can
>>find on the Internet anywhere, without mentioning my sources.
If  it's just writing a text like "X was born on ... worked for Y for Z years..." using information
you've gathered everywhere, that's fine and even better if  you link to the sources somewhere.
But you *cannot* steal a whole text and put your name at the bottom.

>>Who cares about the name of the person who originally scanned an image?
Ah! Couldn't care less if  you steal my scans and post them on your site.
The real credit goes to the author of  the picture scanned.

Say, why don't you erase the names of  Barks and Rosa and Disney at the bottom
and write yours and try to make people believe *you're* the genius?

Oh. I know.

A big company might just sue you for your back teeth...
