I'll bet this happens more often than you think. I see many Amazon reviews pop up on other sites as well. Maybe some people are taking the time to post their reviews all over the net, but if they were honest reviews to begin with I'd say there was plagiarizing going on, from parties with definite vested interests.

I had someone copy my description that I wrote up for one of my eBay sales. I emailed the seller to complain and his reply was that my sale was doing so good, he thought he'd use the same text, it was so good.
Don't know if that was a compliment or not and my item sold, so I didn't pursue it, but c'mon people, be creative and think of something yourself!

Naturallove, I'm glad Collage took down the faux review so quickly. Awfully weird though, that it happened at all. I can kind of see why Collage didn't apologize as they have no way of determining original content on reviews. Still, the polite thing to do is to apologize for the inconvenience to the person. Kate--NO WAY!! That's just unreal. Joan (JP44) |

Word for word..I'm serious! Even copied the exact same font and color I used, and the same formatting. I had to look twice because I thought I had mistakenly listed it twice until I noticed the seller's name.

I remember reading many, many large companies have stolen people's pictures right off flickr for advertisements. I guess they figured it's easy, they don't have to pay for a photographer, and most people would never come to see their own picture. Of course, a lot of people did.
Back to the OT, this is upsetting to me and gives me pause (again) for putting stuff online. Sad.

This is just bizarre! I thought it was nuts when someone suggested that it could have been someone from Lalo's camp; however, after reading that they removed the negative criticism, I think that it was someone from Lalofit. That's really sad and makes them look bad.
Someone from Collage wouldn't have a need to copy and paste a great review for this one video. It just doesn't make sense. |
