Subject: RE: OT Plagiarism accusation stops posting
> I should start by saying I have never written a tutorial so I don't know
what it feels like to have my IP stolen personally. I am far from an expert
with CF, maybe proficient. I have bennefited from tutorials across the web
to help me with my website, the purpose of which to simple provide Hiking
information to people around Washington State. I don't do this to make
money, just a philantropic undertaking ( I like the feeling of knowing
people are getting value out of something I created).

> Seems to me the purpose of my website and tutorials are generally the
same, to provide information to the masses to make the overall picture we
all live in better. If I had the skill to create a valuable tutorial I
think the bennefit to the community outweighs the possibility/likelyhood
that it will be ripped off. Isn't the point of the whole undertaking to put
these great ideas into the hands of those who can use them to in turn make
something valuable to the greater community? Either way it is being
accomplished. I can only imagine it is painful to have others claim your
work as their own, but I think the overall good of putting information on
the web to be used by others outweighs that pain.
