It's copyrighted if he wrote and published it. Since it's on the web, it's considered "published."

Re: Grammar checking. I only made the distinction because without the letters "ED" at the end, it means something very different.

Im confused here. Written word on the web is considered published which in turn makes it copyrighted? Do you have any links to back that up because I would like to learn more about that.

I think YOU are being retarded, and NokiaDude is pointing out the hypocrisy of this thread since Nintari probably stole the image from ATI.

what about this for an e-mail?

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

It has been brought to my attention that the page for the ATI HDTV adapter had taken the FAQ on the product from my webpage and guide which can be found at the following URL:
http://www.mrmicro.net/joshua1/atifaqs.htm

The Main page is here:
http://www.mrmicro.net/joshua1

here is your URL for comparison:
http://www.z-buy.com/product.asp?item=VG-AHDTV

I find it very offensive that you have never contacted me to ask permission to post my work. Please either remove the content from the web page or at least give proper credit and compensation for my work or I will pursue legal action.

Thank You,
Joshua Schipmann

I did, dumbass. My point remains. It's hypocritical to make this thread about X stealing Y's content, when Y stole content from Z.

It's the nature of the web. I don't think it's right many times but it's unavoidable..

You obviously are too caught up in trying to flame me to realize my point, so I'll just move along.

That sucks man.

If something like this happens, but the other guy turns the table on you and says you copied him, which i wouldn't be surprised if he did, what are you going to do?

Umm, where to begin.... you didnt finish a sentence, it doesnt sound professional, if I was that guy I would laugh and keep using it.


Use the link that the first guy gave you, and just edit that to make it sound professional and serious...

They probably got their information from the same place you did. All products have stock descriptions and pictures that everyone uses
