Megan Mullally UK Site Content Stolen

Sadly I've just had to post the following statement at http://www.meganmullally.co.uk/

Statement: Stolen Content from this site.
It has been brought to my attention that content - exclusive to this site - has appeared on another fansite. The poster admitted to taking it in a public discussion. This is, in our opinion, theft. The work stolen took hours to compile and create. Its behaviour like this that gives the site or sites the stolen content appeared on a bad reputation. When you take content from this site and post it without credit elsewhere it is disrespectful to the people that made it. Megan's fans pride themselves on being original, creative and respectful people. Whats original about taking someones work and posting it as your own?


Seriously guys ... think about the amount of work that goes into the site before you copy and paste it onto your own site/forum/myspace. Be creative .. make your own content. There's nothing to be gained from copying someone else's work. Someone is bound to recognise it as their own.

If someone writes a book, you don't just walk into the bookshop, walk out with the book, then take it to a publisher and tell them you wrote it!

Respect peoples websites. Every webmaster out there works hard on their sites.

At the very least you should have the decency to credit the original site with a link to where you found the original content.
