At one point I thought it would useful to have a FAQ for MacVisionaries
as sometimes the questions rhyme a lot with earlier discussions. Later I
was reading a discussion thread on here and thought I'd try to google
around and see if I could find an answer. Of course my search results
just turned up a bunch of links back to the messages on this list. Nice
and circular. So everything here is public and, in a way, we're building
a FAQ for Mac and iOS users, even if they aren't contributing members of
the list. That also means the usual netiquette applies. Don't say
anything you wouldn't want Google to index and turn up with your name on
it. I consider anything I post on here as public broadcast.

The simple fact that people do, for whatever reason, engage in plagerism
is not evidence that you (or they) own anything.
The next time you join a list, or a service like Face Book, don't just
click the "I Agree" box, but read the terms first. You'll find, for
example, that Face Book owns anything you post there. You gave them
ownership of whatever you post on Face Book when you clicked "I Agree."
Which isn't to say that Face Book owns the poetry of Robert Frost,
should you post some poetry of his and sign your name to it. But, it
certainly doesn't make it yours, either. You'll never make a dime on it,
though Face Book just might make more than a dime on it, even though you
plagerized. For one thing you'd be likely to end up on an index of
plagerists, and that fact alone could be of value.
There's a famous incident, recounted in the recent book "Future Crimes,"
where a young girl in Minneapolis shared her fears and concerns with her
friends on her
Face Book page. Most particularly, she did not tell her family that she
was pregnanet. While she was screwing up the courage to tell them, their
postal mailbox began recieving various flyers offering coupons and
gqapspecial deals for new mothers--that's how they found out.
You think this service is free? There's nothing free. You and I are the
products the Googles and Face Books of the world sell for money. And, if
you check their stock price, you'll find they're making a pile of money
by mining your and my data from these supposedly free services.
Best,
Janina

read the article I sent. you can’t take a poem someone posts to a list and
publish it as your own! if you could then that stupid book that was originally
fanfic for twilight couldn’t have been published into 50 shades of gray. it was
first online.
