To
the PERFORMER BLOGGER
As
you know, I have written more than hundreds of posts in which some are words of
dedication to my dear ones. I am happy that your blog has become rich with the
posts that you had taken from Village Girl’s blog. I could see posts and
pictures of my relatives and friends in your blog.
I
should admit that even if you are not an expert in English, you are so clever
to set the dates of the copied posts prior to the day I actually published it. However,
please mind the fact that there are many other methods to know the real date on
which you have published them. In fact, I simply hate to mention what you did
as ‘publish posts’.
It
was a few days back I searched in Google about my grandpa’s day of demise in
order to pay a tribute to him in my blog. I was confused whether the date is 27
or 28th of November. He was my guide and greatest supporter. I am sure it was
his blessings that made me to check Google about him and to find out about this
copying. During the browsing, I could see my words with another URL and finally
I reached your blog.
Initially
I thought it was just one post that you have copied. When one of my blogger
friends pointed out, I could see that you have brutally duplicated majority of
my posts. I was really shocked and depressed for the whole day. Slowly I
realized it is not the end of the world. I still have a long way to go which
you won’t ever follow.
My
gain in this deal is a few self-realizations:
- I’ve a lot of well wishers to support and encourage me
- My posts are worth sharing and it is not an absolute nonsense
Your
loss by this plagiarism:
- Demolition of your identity as a writer
- Chance of fame in the blogosphere
A
blogger builds his/her blog with utmost care and affection. They value each
post, comment, followers and page views. It is almost similar to a mom
nurturing her child. Whether it is one or thousands of posts in her/his blog,
each one are special. If you take away a blog post without permission, it is like
kidnapping a baby from parents.
I
don’t know your gender, nativity or mother tongue. You might come up with an
argument that I copied yours though the readers know the truth. My one lakh
page views and 200+ followers (still counting) will speak for me. I am always
thankful to the visitors and friends of village girl.
I’d
have respected you if you write yourself with dedication. Blog readers never
mind much about the grammatical and language skills. All they need is
originality especially when it is a personal blog. You will not understand the
pain unless you create a post of your own.
A
blogger friend has even helped me to lock my posts from copying. I don’t know
how to thank him for that. I am so sorry to say that you will not be able to
update your blogs with posts about my family, friends, nostalgic places and
stupid poems.
I
might not be the best name in blogosphere. Still I’ll keep writing unless my
brain or hands get damaged because it is the best way I know to express my
thoughts and dreams. Now here is a challenge! Stop me if you can….
Regards
Village
