The Ramadan TV List you saw on my blog yesterday and today took literally 8 hours and more to complete. I spent my entire weekend on it (I have Thursday – Friday weekends) and little did I know that idiots will still crop out my watermark and remove my name from it.
Both were shown to me on twitter, I will not give them the time of day nor will I mention who they are but this is insane. I am exhausted beyond any idea and I have been staring at a computer for the past God knows how many hours and two people come here with the coldest heart ever, crop out my stuff and slap on their “watermark” bah fudge it! (fudge because it’s Ramadan and God knows who might be reading it when they are fasting)!
I am just upset that this is happening and that Kuwaitis in general have a lack of education in the consequences of “plagiarism”, idiots do not steal other people’s work no matter where you found it and refer to it as yours! The internet may be free to search but everyone shares their work there to help better the place not to make it worse!
Karma will get them.
End of rant.

I came home late last night, I didn’t know what’s happening really I spent the time watching my shows then hit the sack for lack of a better word. I woke up this morning and found out that a blog (also for lack of a better word because in my opinion it’s not one) was going around [not sure if I was hit by the copy/paste bug in that dark place] and placing it as their own.

When are you guys going to learn that copy-pasting is the work of the devil!? When?! I swear I am tired of telling everyone out there that PLAGIARISM IS BAD! I just wanna have a big stick like the one Fred Flintstone has and go around wacking people with it, will definitely help with that :P he likes smashing things don’t you dude?! :P
Anyways, some small things one can do to protect their content if you want to avoid such problem is install “Plugins” on your “WordPress” blog that will allow you to stop others from copying your content:
- No Right Click Images Plugin: What this plugin does is the following”No Right Click Images Plugin uses JavaScript to change the right click action on IMG tags to disable context menu. It disables the context menu on images only so other right click actions, such as links, should work normally. Since it uses JavaScript, it targets more images than using a plugin that filter pages and rewrite the tag.”
So to put it bluntly, this plugin disables people from right clicking and saving your picture and protects only that.
- WordPress Protection [Security for your WordPress Site]: However gives you a full package: “WordPress Protection Plugin provides complete security for your wordpress website, so that the plagiarists could not copy the content and steal data or images from your wordpress site Pages. By using the WordPress Protection Plugin (Basic), you can only disable the text-selection and block the use of right click on your website.“
Now this is the option I would suggest many of you to go with, I actually might install it myself, this disables every kind of stealing, content as well as images! And it’s rated highly! So if you’re on WordPress hurry up and grab it and protect yourself!
Plagiarists be warned, we’re coming after you!
Thanks to for raising this issue.
P.S. The blog has been removed and unfortunately I could not see it for myself to see if anything from my content was stolen there. But oh well, at least it’s gone! That miserable sucker!
a Kuwaiti Gadget Freak who is obsessively in love with Apple Products so much that she probably has everything made by Apple. Currently she's being a lazy bum and putting off writing and everything else but when she does this is her space where she likes to vent and release everything, so welcome to it. A blogger for the past 8 years and still loving it.
