Is Bootleg OK?

[lowtech1]

I ran into this link during my search for a new rack mount design for the company firewall....I recall reading a similar article in the same style some where before. The conclusion is a shocking truth, that someone have borrowed others work and hasn?t give the author credit for it.

I don?t know who is the perpetrator but here they are for ATOT peeps to look at:

Behind AnandTech - APPRO's 1124 760MP Server: The Perfect Server?

RackMountPro.com stole the article, their images are even leeched of AnandTech!

"plaigiarize" Might be ok if it let's you write topics that make sense.

That's just me though.

It might be okay to borrowed someone else work, with out give them the credit, but it suck when it is your work that is being plagiarized.

Plaguerism is ok if its for class and you don't get caught, especially if you pay for it!

Strangely enough YMI/rackmountpro link above is still up with out credit to Anandtech for the review.

I suggest you buy your degree on eBay then and stop wasting time

I have send Anand an email with a link to this thread last week.

Funny that Rackmountpro link above is still alive.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

Should pull a Somethingawful on them and change the pics to gay porn. Seems to stop the leeches fairly quick.

lol. that would be so funny.. good suggestion..

 

[jthsmak]

still unresolved...

 

[sharkeeper]

I love it when someone does that with my ebay pix. Anand should edit the html in the original article and upload new images, while getting something totally unrelated with the same name for the leached images! Payback is a bitch!

Cheers!
