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.

I know exactly what it feels like to have your articles being ripped off!

It happened to me a while back and I managed to get the site shut down.

But, this is worse, because here he is manually stealing content without attribution.

And “being a programmer myself copying and pasting became a habit” is such a lame excuse.

I surprised you didn’t issue a DMCA notification to his host and get his site shut down!

There are a lot many things that happen in this world, and a huge subset of that will interest you. Put some effort in doing a bit of research and writing orginal content when you blog. Using other people's work is not at all a sin, but doing that and not giving credit to the original author is a shameless act.@Sérgio Rebelo, I will have to agree with you on the fact that it is not Spam - it is just a case of theft. Now about Copyright - it is a simple law, and like the ® and â„¢, getting a © does not require one to register any where. A person has the Copyright over any work right from the moment of its creation even if no copyright notice is mentioned. It is a different case with ® and â„¢, where one needs to apply and register it somewhere.Hence just dropping a line saying it is copyrighted is more than enough. @Karthik, good for you.
