What do you do when someone passes your code off as theirs? [modified]
-
I realise this probably happens all the time - I have found someone passing off code I published in an article on codeproject as their own - they could not even be bothered changing the name of the app :laugh: I was just merrily googling my applications, being the narcissist that I am :-\ and found this Clickety Suggestions for what fate should await them gratefully received...

Paste a link on your article in the comment sections with the title "repost", take a seat, and observe people's reaction.

He has just responded quickly with an email. "Yes you are right Guy Thiebaut i will add your reference ...i forgot to add." Forgetting to add a reference is very different to claiming to have written it yourself when you have lifted the entire codebase. Makes you wonder how many other things he has nicked and claimed as his own...

Deliver CP as Cease and Desist as well as demand for the posters real information. Sue the poster under the DMCA. You can then attempt to make a horse drink water.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." --Stephen Crane

Guy, Tell him you want that article removed from that site. Also link to this thread so he sees that he's getting some unexpected publicity. Plagiarists are only a level above spammers, that too barely. :|

Just want to say thanks to everyone for their suggestions and comments. I never expected to get so many suggestions so quickly - I think this is what I appreciate about codeproject... :)

Point out the obvious bugs to the boss? How do you prove you aren't the pirate?
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

You did not write this - I did by guy On January 22, 2010 Anyone who visits CodeProject will realise that you did not write this application - as I am the author. Passing code off as your own is unethical and you will be found out by your peers! Re: You did not write this - I did by Nikhil On January 22, 2010 Yes, you are right i forgot to add your reference ! Re: Re: You did not write this - I did by Vilmos On January 22, 2010 No. Adding a reference implies that this is a derivative work when it is in fact a straight copy. Big up and delete this article along with anything else you stole. Re: Re: Re: You did not write this - I did by Nikhil On January 22, 2010 don't use bad words okay ! my one friend gave this article to me to upload i did not know okay i will delete this !!!!!! Re: Re: Re: Re: You did not write this - I did by Vilmos On January 22, 2010 If you do not know the providence of the code, don't claim it. Scrub that. DON'T CLAIM OTHER'S CODE - IT IS FRAUD Understand?

For free beer, I can be there in [checks watch] four hours... I might actually be that way in a month or so when the weather isn't so brass monkey.
