Plagiarism
This guy has stolen my text. But I can't see how to contact him, nor how to contact anybody at ModelMayhem. Does anybody know how? Update an hour later: seems somebody notified him, the page is gone now. Hmm. Okay.
I have looked at this site ... the only way to contact any moderator or "gatekeeper" seems to get an account there - I don't see any other possibility. (For German websites that's not allowed legally.)
Wow - when I visit now "http://www.modelmayhem.com/1681171", I get the message:
"Unable to show profile #1681171 This member is either awaiting approval or has removed their profile from the site."
Hardly a "storm". I was just mildly flattered. But then I got a little irritated by a web site which has no way to contact its members or owners or webmaster.
Funny you should mention it: yesterday I noticed that I had not made a cup of coffee in several days! I did have one or two cups of tea a day though. I'll bet they are skating on the lakes of hell.
I left a tag with the link to your blog. Hopefully that will alert folks to your plight!
ReplyDeleteThanks.

I have seen just now, that you have already updated this - sorry, my comment was not up-to-date.
ReplyDeleteStorm in a teacup, eh?

ReplyDeletePavir,
ReplyDeleteRemember who you're talking to here: this would be a storm in a COFFEE cup! ;-)
OK, so Eolake does use big cups. But the reason for that is obvious...
"Why do gorillas have large nostrils?
Because they have big fingers."
Big hands = big cups! D'uh!
