[...] This post is a direct result of some discussions I had with Thilak over at TechBuzz. There was an incident of plagiarism by a person, and Thilak could, after some effort get a public apology.

I am the new owner of 33rockers.com.. Unfortunately, I bought this site without knowing the controversy surrounding it. I am in the process of cleaning out the uncredited posts and will continue to do so as people let me know where there are issues.
I knew there were problem posts, but that he had subsequently been removed. But upon firther reading, I see that it was more widespread and blatant than I had originally thought.
Anyway, thanks for the concern — I don’t mind a little clean up job, since I get to meet some kewl bloggers along the way. I hope that you guys will help me rebuild the reputation of 33rockers.com minus Karthik.
Even though I have been a web developer since ‘99, I am new to the blogging world… so anything you guys can do to help me out is much appreciated. I think that you’ll find that I will be a positive addition to the community.
Wow the biggest post comments i have ever seen lol.
Well it is wrong to copy anybodys content without crediting him.That i knew long back.If you are just here to copy back , seriously you dont have a place.Yiu can stay but you wont gain anything other than money.
Blogging has gone beyond money making.Its more of respect a blogger has than he earns money.You are credited to what you have done, it should be original.Thats what you gain, respect and honour.
People who copy should be exposed but i have a suggestion.We all should keep our tone neutral.This is your home.Dont make it dirty.

This is most unfortunate !
Didn’t know someone would actually do something like that, and then do it all over again !
And i see he’s from the same place as i am. Shame
This reminds me of something that happened on CHIP sometime back ! lol
