Codezine - Codeproject Articles translated to Japanese???
-
I just found a Japanese (maybe it's another asian language, but for me it looks like Japanese) translation of my codeproject article about a nullable DateTimePicker[^] on CodeZine[^], what seems to be a Japanese source code website. At the end of the article they even write Article copyright © 2005 Claudio Grazioli, Shoeisha Co., Ltd. Well, Claudio Grazioli is my name, so of course yes, I have the copyright. But Shoeisha Co., Ltd seems to be the owner of the webpage and no, they don't have the copyright. :sigh: Well, basically, I don't have a problem that they have translated and published my article. After all, it's open source and I gave it to the community. So the community is free to do with it whatever. But at least the copyright information seems a bit strange to me. I also mean, they could have contacted me before publishing the article and ask for an ok or something. Well, that just seems to be the nature of the Internet...

They do have copyright on the translated material, don't they? You didn't write the japanese article, but the english one. IANAL. -- Schni Schna Schnappi! Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp!

Well I don't think I would be allowed to sell my personal German translation of the newest Dan Brown novel and would have the copyright of the translation just because I translated it. The copyright stays with the original author. The translater doesn't have the copyright of the translation. At least in my understanding of the law.

Claudio Grazioli wrote: The translater doesn't have the copyright of the translation. At least in my understanding of the law. Yes he does. As Michael said above, the translator has the copyright of the transalated work, once the original author allows him to translate it. If the author doesn't authorize, then the transaltor is violating copyright. A correct way to put it would be: Original aricle copyright (c) 2004, Claudio Grazioli. Translation Copyright (c) 2005, The Translator, Inc. Translated with permission from the original author. Or something like that. -- LuisR

well, since they can translate your work obviously they can understand english, so you can try to contact them if you think they have to ask your permission first before translating, you can try to contact them at support@codezine.jp Shoeisha Co is very big company (publisher) in Japan.

What I think is not ok is to steel articles from CodeProject just so. If there is an official partnership between this site and CodeProject, ok, but just steeling it? If they want to profit from CodeProject, at least they should be a big sponsor of CodeProject (like paying some more severs and paying a broader internet connection ;)) or something like this. So no, I won't contact them but I think it is a good idea from Chris that he is contacting them to sort things out. Because I think this is a CodeProject issue, not my personal issue, if someone starts to steel content from CodeProject (infact, they even copied the formatting of the article).

Thank you Chris. I think it is a good idea that you official people from CodeProject contact them. Because I really think that is a CodeProject issue, not my personal issue, if someone starts to steel/copy content from CodeProject. I'm wondering what/if they answer you.

I just had an image of a nuclear warhead with "Word." written in white paint on the side.
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on. If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

There is a Chinese website that does the same thing (you can google and find it pretty easy). I didn't find out about it till I started getting emails in Chinese. Normally I would chalk it up to spam but I saw references to ListView in one of them so I had a Chinese co-worker come translate. The guy was asking me a question about my listview article that had been translated to Chinese from this site.

Ok. The thing got a bit clearer now. They changed the copyright beneith the article. It's now not Article copyright © 2005 Claudio Grazioli, Shoeisha Co., Ltd. anymore but Article copyright © 2005 Jupitermedia Corporation. Jupitermedia Corporation is the media company behind CodeGuru. My article is published there as well, so it looks as if they took the article not from CodeProject but from CodeGuru.
