Re: Expanded Oracle DBA Site

Does this mean that your website consists of material you saw on multiple sources and immediately assumed was in the public domain?

When material appears on multiple sites, it generally means that those sites determined who holds the copyright to the material and sought permission to publish it on their site. Assuming the sites are honest and professional that is.

It is immoral and illegal to go around taking things that belong to other people--including intellectual property. If you do not intend to "steal" or "lift" material, I suggest you remove all material of unknown copyright from your website. If necessary, take down your website until you have verified the copyright of all materials thereon and have obtained whatever permissions are required to comply with the law.

Quite frankly, if you are going to publish copyrighted material on your website, the onus lies on you to determine the copyright and to verify permission by contacting the copyright holder--not vice versa.

And you have the unmitigated gall to call the author you stole from unprofessional? You are a disgrace and clearly a rank amateur. Have you no shame?
