Good ideas get copied all the time. There are millions of wannabe slashdot, digg, myspace, yes and even google sites. It’s one thing to copy a site, and forget to acknowledge it ( after all, if you don’t say it you’re not lying, right?), but it’s a whole different story if you copy it and pretend yours IS the original and the site you copied was the fake.
Check out this post over at ozzu.com. It’s a seemingly honest thread to review a site called Cash Columns. However, one clued in member noted that it was similar to mmmzr and “one of you are copying the idea.”
To my surprise, the reply was “MMMZR is a copy, and isn’t even accepting submissions.” …… :eeks!:
Even after being pointed out that “He (mmmzr) created his domain on the 8th of Oct, you on the 30th, I find that hard to beleive (sic)”, Cash Columns digs himself a bigger hole by yet another blazon statement, “Cash Columns is the original name. Anyone can create some random name like mmmzr and then make a copy using that domain.”
sigh… makes you that a second look at all those blog comments that read “I think it is a great idea, but the price, at $4,0000 or $8,000 a piece is too high for me. I found Cash Columns, which offers the exact same thing at a lower price. I invested and I got everything it offers, and I plan to reinvest very soon.”
