No Brain Writers Stealing Ideas


As many of you know, I write on one or two article sites and try to come up with interesting and well written content. It takes a lot of time to come up with an idea and then research it to make sure the facts are correct.

I always get annoyed when others come behind me, reshuffle my ideas and add a bit in and claim them as their own. Now I know this isn't plagiarism as such, but stealing other people's ideas and carefully put together arguments is, in my book, almost as bad.

I won't name the site, or the author but it happened again today. I can't give you the title of the article because it is so distinctive that it would be obvious who I was pointing the finger at.


This is not the first time this has happened. A while ago I write a hugely successful article on Uses of Aspirin: 10 Uses for Aspirin I spent a lot of time marketing it and it has earned me $430.30 so far and it is still earning. Fortunately the writer who rehashed my idea was unable to market it, so it didn't do very well.

Copying other people's ideas and trying to benefit from their brainpower only shows the lack of imagination some people have. Okay, it can happen coincidentally but in these two cases it was no accident. There are a lot more examples of this and I have seen other people's work rehashed too. These people are not writers, they are bottom feeders who will take what they can as long as it makes them a few pennies and have no conscience about it.

I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about, especially if you write on sites like Triond, AC, etc.

Ooooh! It makes me spit!
