@ the ones talking of school- in nigeria or where?

dem get internet talkless browse am?

anyway, just in case all of you arent play-acting, free the guy, he said he's been crying since.

tpia@:


i thought most of the stories here were mostly sex related, havent read any of them plus these ones quoted here.

the omenuko guy even has sex threads on his signature.

Like seriously? You thought works @literature section are all x-rated? That's so dumb! This section comprises many writers with different writing styles, if the only stories you've seen so far were x-rated, then you've been searching for x-rated stories, just like you can't move your eyes off my signature

Don't mind me, I'm just the bad egg.

frank3.16:
just conversd with him on face book, he sounded like an innocent plagiarist below is a quote from him

"i avent printed any copy.nd y should i print somebody's story,why cant you be gentle for once,if it means to b published,ask urself dis question,u ave not yet published dis story,yet u posted it on nairaland,nairaland got thousand of members,do u knw if there are till bad guys there who might ave copied ur own story too,or ave a copy and make money wit it?perhaps wat does it really meant to share a story to bring smile on peoples faces,i didnt even see copywrite there,jux d end,dat all,is that how they do it.i didnt create dis page jux to copy nd paste,coz i ave passion for writing,nd i m till workin on it.if you think i m a bad guy,so be it.i ave deleted all your stories nd keep on informing young authors in nairaland that i copy their story and put on my wall,finally,i ave not printed any stories that dont fully belong to mine.so go ahead with your works,more grease to your elbows"

this is in his defence to my accusation that perhaps he had printed my work. i think what everyone whose book was copied shuld do is to ensure that his/her storyb it taken out soonest

Whaaaaaaat! He said this?

I fear for our collabo work...

Oahray: I fear for our collabo work...

Likewise.

Mazi_Omenuko: There are some issues the 'ogas on top' needs to address.

Is our work here at the literature section protected by copyright laws? I always see an 'all rights reserved' at the bottom of nairaland page so I assumed both nairaland and its contents are protected by some kind of law.

If this is not so, we need a response from seun to know the way forward.

Seun has an ugly habit of ignoring stuffs like this, hoping it will die down and things returns to normal with time.

The story of unical sacking 10 of its lecturers due to plagiarism hit front page this morning https://www.nairaland.com/1227071/unical-sacks-4-lecturers-demotes
While his writers here at nairaland are demanding for explanations to his copyright rules and crying fowl of the same plagiarism yet he turns a blind eye and a deaf ear!

He needs to respond to this and clarify issues; else, I suggest that you all, as writers of nairaland section start another thread, informing all nairalanders that henceforth, you guys are on an indefinite strike and no more uploads and stories until seun responds.

He should learn to lend a listening ear when need be.

Even the mod is yet to address the question of copyright and content protection!

EMBARK ON AN INDEFINITE STRIKE NOW!!!

This is a process.
For the issue of copyright and content protection to be addressed, proper research and measures have to be in place
We can decide to type and write from morning till night without proffering a solution. But I am a practical person (i.e. solutions and action)
Once this has been settled, then we will table our solution to the writers

As per the frontpage, what difference would it make?
Where did the plagiarist claim to have gotten the stories from?
Are we trying to educate people that stories can be stolen on here? Do we need more offenders?
What is the usefulness of the FrontPage in this matter? Would it solve the problem at hand?
Would it arrest plagiarists?
Sometimes I wonder what the fuss about the FrontPage is?
Advocating for FrontPage shows misplaced priority and irresponsibility(no offence).
A long lasting solution and security is the main concern.

I support this, but I'm not sure if it would change anything. This situation has been on for about 3 days now and Mr Seun hasn't done anything about it, neither has the topic made frontpage.
I think Mr Seun is proud and confident that NL would do well without the Literature and Writing Section, thats why he has chosen to ignore this issue. #Just thinking, might not be true and he may actually be working on something#
I seriously hope he is.

*foul*.

You have made some very important points.

I will ask Seun to address the matter. The question of Copyright and Content protection wasn't directed at me.

He will be in a better position to address this. He knows the laws and constitution concerning this on Nairaland more than I do.

Thanks.

Don't mind me, I'm just the bad egg.

i've been in literature section for a while, i'm not new here.

yes, i noticed there's quite a lot of x rated material these days, if its not in sexuality section then i'm not always interested in reading it elsewhere.

it gets tiresome when sex is everywhere 24/7.

if you insist the stuff is not x rated, are you saying if i look up some of these stories (ignoring your signature), i wont find anything relating to sex?

anyway, i know some of you post tongue in cheek.

una dey find traffic.

I've seen stories of people getting duped here on nairaland by either a fellow nairalander or someone else. Such stories are taken to frontpage immediately; and seun himself once stated in one of such threads that he does it to inform people that nairaland doesn't condone scamming, also, to discourage potential scammers.

Why won't this plagiarism story be taking to frontpage to educate potential plagiarist that nairaland doesn't condone plagiarism, and by so doing, scare away potential plagiarists??

Frontpage isn't the only thing I was advocating for, your writers wants to know the extent your privacy policy covers there works? If someone copies my work here on nl and I sue him, his defence attorney is going to ask me if my work was originally protected where it was.
This is what seun has refused to answer, thereby, creating a huge doubt on the mind of nairaland writers.

as per copyright matters @ topic

you dont want to spend money but you want to post freely and expect to trademark your effort?

I doubt that that's how it works, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

we are all learning here.

a disclaimer can be placed in the section or somewhere, and also anyone wanting to use the material therein should acknowledge the source if they're quoting verbatim.

asking the site admin to ban copy and paste might also be an option, dunno.

Seun, please say something. Are writers safe on Nairaland? I know you're currently viewing this thread.

And you, my lady, is becoming a great nuisance! You are neither a writer in this section, a mod, admin or a positive contributor! This is not Nairaland general chat section so you can fvck off!

Unless, of course, you are a plagiarist!

Just to let you know that using multiple ids on the same thread is a capital offence. Except it's authorized by the admins or your previous handle was banned and you had to create another one. It can be detected and if one is caught, the handles would be banned. Just an advise.

As per your question, I will answer you shortly.

U said u we're crying, yet, u still av one of bukkydan's story on ur fb page, lara's faith is still there.

Viewing this topic Seun(m)

Oga Seun, please brief us on what's next na... This issue is an eye opener to many things.
...Just imagine, how many of our works has been copied, pasted or printed before this....? Everytime, I visit Nairaland, and I scroll down, I always come across Copyright and something, followed by Oluwaseun Osewa, Is it that, that was a hoax?
...About the frontpage stuff, I'm not a mod, so I don't know how its done.. My question: Is It Mr Seun that approves frontpage stuff or the Mod just put anything there.. {Mynd, we need to talk, why haven't Rap Battles made front page, Screened, neat and non-offensive ones?}
>
As for me, I'm still on strike till these are rectified..

Shoutout to my oga at the top

Tapia I am starting to form a scowl when I read your posts

I don't like the way your acting!

Keep quoting irrelevant rules and ignore the core issue. You should try and know copyright rules the way you know nl rules.
