I study the news of Google taking down posts from Linda Ikeji’s weblog yesterday with deep interest. See Don’t copy incorrect! Writers own the exclusive rights to their functions, and Here is an example of how to use others’ content on your web page. It is no news that Linda Ikeji’s weblog has been at the fore-front of plagiarism in Nigeria’s blogoshpere, with content frequently being lifted from diverse sources devoid of attribution or permission of any sort. Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of a further author’s "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one’s own original operate.
I have lost count of how many tweets I have observed in which writers, photographers and bloggers have complained about how Linda Ikeji has lifted a single thing or the other from them for use on her blog. It saddens me to mention this, but Ynaija, a different prominent Nigerian blog, has been guilty of this also. I have lost count of tweet fights more than Ynaija reproducing articles without the need of consent. It is sad that this sort of factor has gone on for so long. It is good news that lastly, somebody took deliberate methods to address the incorrect carried out to him. That has been what I keep telling folks: Act do not just complain.
There was no permission taken from me. I got a lawyer on their case and in spite of an initial show of unconcern, they did sit up sooner or later when the we heated items up. Permission is the essential ingredient. Lifting content completely and then adding the author’s name or even a link does not alter something. You can use excerpts from another person’s work and credit them without having permission. It is sad that the most higher profile Nigerian weblog is a perpetrator of plagiarism and violation of intellectual home rights. Linda Ikeji and the herd of copy-and-paste blogs that follow in her measures want to start out doing suitable now in terms of the content material of their blog before factors get bloodier, as I suspect that it will. A single person has drawn blood other people will act. I hope Linda gets to read this piece.
It is time that a complete lot of Nigerian bloggers sit up and commence to do truthful, respectable, inventive work. It does not matter exactly where the offending blog is hosted, Blogger, WordPress and independent internet hosts take plagiarism severe. Report offending blogs to them, supply evidence, and they will have your content taken down on your behalf. If you have to, get a lawyer. Even superior than getting the offending weblog posts taken down is you acquiring monetary compensation for your content. Get a lawyer and sue. Young men and women hold making noise about wanting transform. It is sad to see the identical young individuals perpetrate corruption (yes plagiarism is corruption). It is even worse when the teeming followers of such offenders continue to read and assistance them. Quite a few of those who scream and rail against plagiarism continue to patronise offending blogs. Our corporate organisations also spend lip service to becoming anti-corruption by continuing to patronise such blogs for adverts and PR. If corporations had been more circumspect about the platforms they give their revenue to, bloggers would have a motivation to do superior. People today complain that I am cynical about Nigeria. With all the evidence in front of me, it is tough not to be. It is going to be a lengthy road to modify. But, yes we can do superior. We have to do far better.
