I guess I am becoming famous...
...since people started plagiarizing my ads :)
This morning I ran into something interesting. From time to time I post a "free computer hardware wanted" ad in the wanted section of CL. Do not get many responses but from time to time get enough to keep me busy . I also get my ad flagged from time to time. Competition probably or some jerk with too much time on their hands.
Anyway... This morning, I discover an ad in the "free" section that basically is an almost identical copy of my ad. It actually got flagged fairly soon probably because it was in the wrong place. I did respond to it before that happened, however. Was curious more than upset or mad. Said that I might have some stuff the poster would be interested in. Got s response. Now I am trying to figure what to do next. Maybe I should let it go.
Again, I am sort of curious who that person is more than pissed at them for plagiarizing (or competing with me). And I don't have any copyright on CL ads so people can steal the text I guess. But I am just curious whether something like this has happened to you and what you decided to do.
