I'm not actually sure that this Xporno site can be accused of plagiarism.
I've just been doing some research, and from what I've gathered, an act of literary theft can only be classed as plagiarism if the perpetrators are passing off someone else's work as their own.
I've not checked the site out, but from what I've gathered from previous posts here, the people responsible are not claiming the stolen works were written by themselves. Instead merely posting them without crediting the genuine author.
Can posting someone else's work on another site be classed as plagiarism if the perps are not taking credit and claiming they wrote it? It's literary theft, certainly, but is it plagiarism?
I honestly don't know the answer; law isn't my strong suit.
oh. you're Desperate Dan. NOW i get it. *puts on ignore*

Oh, don't be that. I was only trying to start a debate. I'll go back into my corner and mind my own business then.
lol - i don't have an issue with it, just pointing out that it comes across as not only calling people hypocrites, but defending Plagiarism.

I have never claimed that I am innocent of copyright. I'll admit, I infringe copyright all the time. I'm a very naughty boy that should be spanked on a regular basis.
My point is, people who infringe copyright and then complain that their work has been stolen are being hypocritical.
gonna make a lot of friends with the authors here that way, ya know.

I know it is. I never said I'm innocent of posting other people's work without their consent. I said that people breaking copyright laws and then complaining that their work has been posted elsewhere is being a tad hypocritical.
*shrugs* let's put this in other terms. having a picture taken in front of someone else's car and then telling people it's your car in the picture is differet than stealing their car and telling people's it's yours.

okay so the topic is a bit weird i know.
i plan on writing a few stories where the hero of the stories may have to take a life. nothing graphic or vulgar (unless i am allowed that)
basically am i allowed to write about people getting killed in my stories.
Many thanks
Sean.
long as it's not DURING sex and it's not too graphic, yep.

Ruin your day!!! How about how you personally ruined mine and milik's reptutation on lush? Think about that for awhile! Your acting like this is no big deal, well guess what, it is a big deal!
one. i never made public any of this up until this conversation.
two. i'm fairly certain that i'm the one who most of the people paying attention to are going to think is the 'bad guy' here. Milik's well liked, for a reason. he's an excellent writer and he's been very helpful to a lot of people here. i wouldn't have even posted in here if Milk hadn't decided to announce that he's outta here and putting up his stories somewhere else, a move that doesn't effect me, but DOES effect Nicola, the one who didn't make an issue of things. i thought it lacked class. that's why i started the conversation in the first place - it rubbed me wrong that he was, in essence, doing the same thing to Nicola that he accused me of doing to him - screwing her over.
as for being the bitch, i'm okay with that, and won't even disagree with it.

Actually you did say something. That's how I found out you were behind it all. You told another member in a pm that you did it.
i may have, it's possible, but it was likely in a need to know situation. *shrugs* for the record, i simply pointed out a pattern. i never pushed for anything beyond that. what you wish to believe is your business.
Quote by Milik_the_Red
You just couldn't resist another chance to screw me over and she paid the price.
Not sure when i've ever screwed you over, Milik. again, what you wish to believe is your own business. how about we just let it go before it goes sideways. not really worth ruining our day over.

I'm not making a deal of it in the forums, I answered questions. I tried to be vague. You are the going off. If I was wrong and abused power, why am I still a mod? Why am I still able to vote on EP's?
.
never said you abused power. i simply pointed out that that there was a pattern in how you were handing out RRs - it was a response to a LOT of complaints about the RR system, complaints i took very seriously, despite the fact that i never once said anything publicly.
as far as being trusted, you can trust me to do what is best for this site and it's members, sometimes even against my own best interests. for the record, this is the first time i have said ANYthing about the issue to anyone besides Nicola - i respected you enough to do that. any ways, i'm done with this as well, so let's agree to disagree and be done with it.

Yes. I will most likely still be writing erotica. As for the reason, after someone you thought was a friend goes out of their way to screw you over with the boss, it kind of changes the way you feel about the place. I could give a name, but they know who they are.
I do have friends here and I'll keep my account for them. Otherwise, I have enough going on in my life to keep me busy.
I hope that helps.
Sure does, and yep, i know who i am. thing is, if i'd done the same, i'd expect someone to bring it to Nic's attention as well, and then, i'd apologize, fix it, and continue to support her and her site, rather than a competitor, and not make a deal out of on the forums. By the way, i didn't go out of my way to "screw you over". it was something i spent a couple of days agonizing about before i decided that i needed to say anything. *shrugs* in the end, i regret nothing. i'd have called anyone on it, including Liz or Ashleigh and i'd have expected them to do the same.

I will continue to write when time allows. I will simply not be posting them on Lush. If anyone is interested in reading my future work, please contact me and I will let you know where those works may be found.
so, out of curiousity, why? also, is it going to be erotic stories that you're posting on other, competitive sites? inquiring minds need to know!

Your story needs some love, you say? Okay, I'll squeeze her and hug her and call her, Olivia. How's that?
Speaking of, how's, you said there's more to come. How many more installments and how long before the nextd one gets posted?
Just one more to finish this particular story, this night, tho i might use Olivia in the future for other stories. as far as when, 1-2 weeks tops. this one's a fast write, and i've got a lot of free time space out to do it, closer to 1, i'm hoping
