"Yes" invite the plagiarist in and discuss the reason why they thought your words were worth such a steal and share, you may well find a fan of another kind, but; I would watch your silver, just in case : )

The problem is not in them sharing but in their blatant lying about who authored it. It's wonderful to see one's poetry shared. I have seen a few of mine shared on other sites. I had no awareness of it until I was told of it, and it did not bother me. They had put my name on it. others did not put their name and if one's poetry ever becomes famous or very popular, you do not want the thief to reap your rewards! Just saying.... Anyway I love the idea behind your bright monoku.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I guess I just had to be provocative and running against the wind ...Kind wishes, Kai

But in academia, it can make one professor and destroy the "new kid on the block." Something went wrong with our copyright, patent, trademarking systems (& PRC CHINA refuses to play) Shalom

You are right. I spent ten years at University, but left to write ...Kind wishes to you and a Happy New Year, Kai

It is hardly ever straight forward. I just want to look at it differently sometimes. Kind wishes, Kai

Good one Kai! Your thoughts really need to be shared widely so i shall start haha what if it goes over the top of the reader’s heads though? Can i simplify the words or even translate? If someone steals, they are usually in real need - that is my zen conclusion for individuals but the corporations and governments are a different story! :)

Thanks for reading and liking and your thoughts. Of course, true plagiarism is uncalled for. But sometimes the concept goes too far. In academia you can even be accused of plagiarising yourself ...
