Happen to Google some keywords. Surprisingly, I found out that some of my very recent Blogs have been reposted on some other websites. Some are even included in commercial sites!

While, it is good to know my Blogs has gained more viewers. The question is if I want my writings to be reposted in that way, even though I put "All right reserved" logo on it.

It reminds me that many years ago, I wrote my first Advertisement, which was printed in big full-color posters and distributed in all over major cities in China. Many editors in xx publishing house consider it to be "brilliant". And it did boost their sales.

However, one day, I walked in "风入松" bookstore, randomly browsed a few books, and to my surprise, on the preface of one of books, I saw my writing for that advertisement was "secretly borrowed"!! Although, the author of the book changed a few words, and of course some specific proper nouns to refer to the book, I can see all my writing at the first glance. I knew it was totally my idea.

To make it worse, I found the person who was in charge of publishing that series of books, is one of my "friend". At that moment, I was both honored and irritated.

Such things are surly not big deals. After all, I want my ideas to be seen by more people, if there is no privacy involved :)  However, we should  at least acknowledge other people's efforts when we use their your work.
