Pirates Invade Nairaland?
« on: August 22, 2006, 08:41 AM »

Sure we all remember sometimes ago someone littered nairaland withplea to join his forum at nairaland.com . NOt that anything is wrong with thatm, so out of curiosity I checked the site and alas what I saw,- verbatim copying of nairaland thread without giving any credit, he even pretend like he and some other fictitious individuals wrote those contributions. Most painful is the "Learning java without tears" initiated by mimoh_mi.
you can check these threads lifted from nairaland's programming forum, who knows how much he'D have copied from other forums.

I think it is not right, or maybe Seun gave the permission. No matter what, lifting of someone else's intellectual work without permission and giving credit is piracy, robbery (and any other such names).
Is the guy just  showing the nigerianness in him? I pity those people who strive to meet his condition to get the free website, this is a shrewd, yet to be re-birthed Nigerian( if he really is).
