Friday night website thoughts...
Feb. 27th, 2004 10:10 pmYou know, even though I'm probably going to shut down Yet Another SG-1 Fan Page, this bugs the heck out of me.
To prove to myself I didn't need to keep my site up much longer, I did a Google search for SG-1 transcripts - and boom! One comprehensive SG-1 transcript site for all seasons!
Not a big surprise. But something else DID shock me.
Their transcript of "Children of the Gods?" It was mine, word for word, sans transcriber's notes and disclaimer. Oh, and I noticed that the "1969" and "Out of Mind" transcripts resemble mine as well, down to the weird descriptions. I sent the webmaster a polite e-mail about this problem.
*sigh* I don't want them taken down, I don't want links to my site... but I'd like credit, dammit. This was ripped off way back in 2001 and I only noticed it now. For about 2 years someone else has taken credit for this.
Judge for yourself...
Children of the Gods - Mine - Theirs
1969 - Mine - Theirs
Out of Mind - Mine - Theirs
I guess it's a good thing I decided to review the validity of my subsites, or I'd never have noticed this.
Edit: It gets better. Gateworld.net is now claiming it as their own property.
WHO SUBMITTED MY WORK UNDER THEIR NAME, AND WHERE ARE YOU SO I CAN HURT YOU?
Man, first my apartment gets robbed and now people are stealing credit for my transcripts. I can't win.
