IF YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT, WHY ARE YOU POSTING IT?
*goes off into a corner and screams*
ETA: I ought to mention--I've left a "review" asking him/her to take it down, and further steps will be taken if it's not down by tomorrow, so things are under control--no need to go flame. I just needed to vent. Also, it's becoming more and more clear that I'm going to have to lard all of my entries on m15m with anti-theft warnings ("OMG DUN STEEL!").
Are kids not taught about plagiarism and stealing and giving credit and just leaving things that aren't yours alone in school anymore?
Update: I took papervolcano's advice and added random letters to the reviews URL, ending up with this: http://www.fanfiction.net/reviews.php?storyid=1935243mnkjh
The newest reviews come up first. I'm at the top of page two, at this point. Apparently tons of people (y'all?) have reported them to the abuse team. My message actually says, "You have 24 hours to take this down before I contact abuse," but there you go.

*fumes*
I assume you're reporting this, but I don't know what needs to happen with that - if you need help, let me know.

I'm writing a review now, not that I really think it'll help much, but...

Date: 2004-07-01 10:52 am (UTC)No. I work at a university, and the number of kids there who think nothing of stealing things online ("hey, you must want to give it away or you wouldn't put it on a web page") is sickening. There's plenty of good 'uns too, but... ugh. I've seen, heard, and heard of enough incidents of plagiarism that I want to barf. I took down a small collection of school essays I'd posted, because I'm sure they'd been stolen for use.
I don't know if it's because they haven't been taught it in school, either - I certainly never had to be told, explicitly, "thou shalt not use sources without due credit", I just knew it was wrong. I blame society. :)

(And you know, it's true in a sense: I am perfectly cool with letting you read it for free and not charging you as if it were a newspaper or a book because, yes, it is the internet and it is free. But, you know, I never heard of any material given away free that was okay TO PLAGIARIZE.)
