DreamRebel Plagerized Me.

OK, I'll do it. I'm 10-8, 10-51, www.unexplained-mysteries.com. I will be 10-6 there for about 5 mikes, and then will 10-19 back to base. Starchild out.

Please let staff deal with this.

Negative, JB.

Operation de-pants DreamRebel is go, mission will not be aborted.

Mr. M's 10-20 is www.unexplained-mysteries.com, and the package is prepped for delivery.

Please people. We are ATS, we are professional, we are the best of the best. Let's be composed and professional about this. I'm contacting the admin/owner of that site now, and referencing this thread. Revenge might be fun, but consider how your actions might reflect on AboveTopSecret.com.

I think it would reflect well on us if handled in the right manner. If we show them this site, we may even bring in some new people with new ideas.

REFER TO LOWER POST.

I absolutely positively agree with this one. As aggravating as this is, it's something best dealt with by the staff here...not us.

Please don't let this turn into a big intra-board drama bomb.

I'm betting money that OUR dog's bigger than THEIR dog...and the staff over there will see the light.



p.s. I'm glad he's banned - thought-stealing little punk.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Mission has been accomplished. I am now 10-7.

Please refer to the following link, and read for yourselves the information provided to the personnel of www.unexplained-mysteries.com.

I was more than polite, and did not bring discredit upon ATS in any way.

Hopefully, they will also punish this member for his actions. He deserves it.

www.unexplained-mysteries.com...

Mr. M

Let's get straight what our roles are in this.

Irrespective of how violated it may make you feel when you read your own thoughts and words being used as if they are some one else's, these thoughts/words do not belong to us, the members.

Read the TOS...the minute you post your words here at ATS, they belong to ATS. We got into this issue back when Dragonrider got banned. He started demanding that the staff here delete all his posts. He quickly found out that he has no right to decide what is done with those posts, because they belong to ATS.

SOOOOOOOOO...even though it pisses us (members) off, the legalities and right to ownership and recourse, belong to ATS.

THAT's why they should handle this.

Actually, that's not exactly correct. Your thoughts and musings are still your intellectual property as long as they are your original thoughts and musings that you have created. When you post to ATS, you grant Simon non-exclusive rights to publish them in pretty much any form. (A legal concept that has long-since been tested on the old CompuServe forums in the early 1990's.) This doesn't mean that Simon or any other future "ATS Board of Directors" (or whatever) owns what you post. It means ATS can republish without asking for permission. Essentially, each time the database serves up one of your posts, it's being republished because the format may be different each time (in context with responses). Other forms in the future might be books or CD-ROM for example. However, non-exclusive rights also means, whenever Simon/ATS publishes your work, you must be given credit. So to clear things up, Simon/ATS does not "own" your posts. Simon/ATS has the right to publish your posts on ATS and give you credit. Simon/ATS owns the media in which your work is published here (hence the footer message). You can republish your own work (which you posted here) wherever you wish without mentioning ATS. Simon/ATS can republish you work wherever he wishes, but must give you credit. I hope that clears things up. [Edited on 8-4-2004 by SkepticOverlord]

Mr. M

I did, and I noticed that there were others from the site who were reading it at the same time. I wonder if their MODS will make some kind of statement?

frankly, i find this very appalling, i went looking for posts by me that could have been copied, after about half an hour of searching, i gave up, because it is pointless, almost everything is copied word for word. my findings:

We at UM will take the proper actions for dealing with this twit. Starting with the deletion of many of "his" posts. This comes as a surprise, but then again he has always seemed a bit strange at times. I have been watching him since the first day he joined our forum. I am only writing here because I am not sure if our admin SaRuMaN will be regestering to inform you. Although, I assure you, he is taking the proper actions. Which he has already began by suspending DreamRebel from Unexplained Mysteries indefinatly.

Thank you for informing us, as we don't want to deal with the same, well, crap.

This forum looks pretty good, I can't say I've ever heard of it, hence the above top secret stuff. Anyway, enjoy your days, and thanks again for letting us know what we're dealing with. Bye now.


Edit: And yes, I am A Moderator there.
