I would think it d be quite easy to keep people from plagiarizing someone else s work, especially because the internet is so easily searchable, and most things ever written by men are most likely online by now. One quick Google visit will tell you the real author of any work. Not a criminal. Just an extraordinary loser. Except for the fact that the server is different, and possibly the font, nothing .
Most news sites do it, too.
The information is readily accessible through the link, so it s the same situation if someone actually puts the text onto a different page and publishes it on his site. I have seen my articles translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and French, and only because I ve stumbled onto them. Quite the opposite of being angry, I was extremely flattered, and let the translators know it. Another situation where I don t see a problem is in the clothing industry. I m pretty fond of heading over to Banana Republic to pickup a new outfit for work before going out to dinner.
