I can't believe some people Options

I was reading the blog of a layout site, and I COULDN'T believe how stupid she sounded:



Can you believe that person?
She encourages people to send HATE MAIL!!!

I think the one "I waited 10 minutes, but she didn't respond. so send her hate mail!" is funny.

I told her that I thought she was over reacting and that she was immature. She will probably tell all of her friends to block me and send me hate mail. so what, that just proves how immature they are.

Some people have different emotional reactions to these things. I don't think it's immature, so much; "stealing" someone's code is plagiarism, so whatever you have to do to get the job done and taken care of. I think it's a bit excessive, though. I mean, get real, whatever you post on the internet can be stolen, so get used to it.

I wouldn't even call it plagiarism, either. Coding is learned through sharing knowledge/skills. You steal from one resource and it's plagiarism; you steal from many, and it's "research."

I really hate your views on this subject. I've seen you post about it in other threads too. I've even seen you encourage it at times. I just disagree entirely. Just because you've posted something on the internet, does not make it ok for someone to take it. No one should have to "get used" to getting their art stolen. And not everyone is talking about coding either. I don't mind SO much if it's just coding that's been stolen from me, but I do mind when someone comes onto my portfolio, grabs a vector, puts it on their site and claims that they made it themselves. Why? I'm a professional. People come to my portfolio to get a feel for my work, which I feel is unique. What if they stumble across a jocker's site? They begin to question my originality because they don't know who to believe. I've just lost business.

And not everyone learns to program from other peoples source code. Some people, like myself, learned through books, classes, and tutorials.

Also, in the future if I catch you encouraging people to jock codes from others in Myspace support, as I have seen recently, you will be warned. createBlog simply can't be advocating that kind of behavior.
