THEY USED MY REVIEW! >:o

MY REVIEW!

"Legendary for her looks, attitude and amazing talents...."

I wrote this review for amazon.com, and they took it, without even asking me first!

Isn't this illegal?

[Craig]

I'd be flattered.

[nik0tine]

Yeah, I'd assume it's some kind of illegal.

[Peegee]

You wrote it for amazon, who now owns it now ;p

So it's up to them to bitch and moan

[Chris]

I'm a little flattered, but they could have mailed me first. :/

[edczxcvbnm]

Yes it is illegal. It is call plagerism(spelling?). Write to e-bay about this acution and make them change the content as you are the originator of the review.

[Chris]

I did write 'em, alas, no answer. >_<
They're more than welcome to use my reviews, just list as the originator.

lol. Who gives a <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">?

If everyone on ebay were forced to give credit to the site where they get
their information, it'd just be annoying as hell. They don't even need to
give you credit for that review, they could just as easily give it to
Amazon.

Anyway, how many people do you think are going to read that anyway?
More now since you posted it, but even now the view counter is at 18,
one is mine and I'm willing to bet about 3-7 of them are yours, 4 other
people have replied here and I'm sure the seller has looked at the item
a few times, so it's like 5 people who have seen it in the 5 days that it's
been listed.

Optium, you managed to miss the point a spectacular amount. Credit ought to be given where credit is due, whether it is one paragraph with an audience of three, or if it's a vast novel which is read by fifty million people. It has nothing to do with where the information came from (Though it'd still be polite to credit, it's not a legal requirement.), it's a verbatim reproduction of something Chris wrote.

It is indeed illegal not to credit the source of the work, whether it has to be Amazon or Chris here I don't know, but it definitely has to be credited. (Read the small print on Amazon. There's probably a clause which says 'Everything posted here belongs to us!' Even if that's so, I'd have thought they would still have to credit Amazon.)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I agree with I'm my own MILF. If Chris wrote it it's his own intellectual proprety and by law must be credited to him if it is reproduced in verbatim. Unless there's some way Amazon gets around it, which I can't think of. I'm not the law expert here, Big D might know something more.

[crashNUMBERS]

Hahaha!! I feel bad for ya' man. I think it is illegal...

[Camanche]

Congratulations on getting your review used!

You still deserve credit though- no matter what. What if Rolling Stone decided to use your review and did not credit you? That’d be a pisser, no? Fact of the matter is, it is only proper to credit people. Every time I’ve read an Amazon review, credit was given where it was due. This should be no different, regardless if it is on a mass internet site. As someone said, they stole your ENTIRE piece of work, which is beyond plagiarism.

tehee. thats cool
