Carey Holzman Victim Of Copyright InfringementCarey Holzman appears to be the victim of copyright infringement. In February 2004 he wrote a column for Tech Builder, 23 Ways To Speed WinXP Without Defrag. On October 12, 2005 a site called Tech Yogurt posted an article, 23 Ways to Speed Up Windows XP. I read the content at Tech Yogurt and left a comment. Last night, I got an email from Carey Holzman: "Just so you know, the 23 Ways to Speed Up XP article posted at TechYogurt.com is a cut-and-paste plagiarized copy of my original work..." Look at the two articles. There's no question Tech Yogurt stole Tech Builder's content. Carey posted a comment on the Tech Yogurt blog, and the Tech Yogurt admin deleted the post. Carey reports the site admin has ignored Carey's other attempts to contact him. What is dispicable (and also criminal) is Tech Yogurt is making money off Tech Builder's content via Google AdSense and soliciting donations, in clear violation of Tech Builder/CMP's copyright. I'm sure CMP Media's attorneys are going to have something to say about this, but in the meantime I am going to help Carey out by contacting anyone who links to the Tech Yogurt website and asking them to remove the links to the copyright infringement. permalinkOctober 16, 2005 |
