No, it's not OK, I just choose not to pursue it if they put a link in -- because I am being nice. But it is not OK to use content without permission. Believe it or not, internet content is not just there for the taking, it does actually belong to someone.

hi Cheri,<BR/>I'm sorry about your content being stolen so often.consider watermarking all your images and have a Copyscape banner on your blog to beware the plagiarists.Write a mail to the copycat and warn her about never ever using your content without permission or due acknowledgment.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but what she did was wrong! Maybe I am hostile, but with good reason. My material is constantly used without my permission. I make a living as writer and this is a very important issue to me and other writers and photographers who spend a lot of time and effort creating content, only to have other people reprint it without permission. <BR/><BR/>First of all, she

i'm an avid reader of www.dianecancook.blogspot.com. i noticed a hostile comment from cheri re: bring on the gravy, claiming the author stole copyrighted information without giving due credit. the post is now deleted, but since i subscribe by googlereader, i am still able to see the post's content. the credit is there, listed right under the recipe (I've copied it for you to see):<BR/><BR/>
