Magazine busted for stealing content

I have seen the enemy and the enemy is us.

 

I go to their facebook pageand this is the first thing I see:

 

She won't be unemployed. It's her publication.

I actually know Monica fairly well. She's not in New England and asked me to help find the publication on the newsstand, but it didn't get to the part of Vermont I live near.

Her original letter, and the followup, were very polite.

I think this woman just stepped in the stupid.

 

STEEPED in the stoopid.

 

Lord help them if this comes to fruition. I don't wish 4chan on anyone.


And Judith? Digital Millennium Copyright Act on Line 1.

 

Wow. I've never seen such righteous ignorance.
See I cleaned up Ace's words and made them my own. There's no harm in that.

 

Congrats. Now you can go to work at the Plain Dealer.

And I'm sure this woman wouldn't have quite the reaction if someone lifted her stuff. But it's probably not worth lifting anyways.

 

The editor got on Facebook and thanked the offended writer for all the new FB friends. Nevermind they are all flaming her.

If Rudy takes my job, I'm keying his car, dammit.

 

With friends like that, who needs enemas?

 

The viralness -- virality, viralitude? -- of what's happening to this magazine's Facebook page(s) is hilarious. They've started new pages, threatened people over hacking (read: "liking" and posting), tried to stem the tide. It's only making things much, much worse. They're in a really nasty loop of "fucked up, tried to explain it away, and now this shit isn't going away anytime soon."

No excuse for Monica's stupidity. Send in the lawyers!
