Ton Plomp Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 I was browsing the web and found this page, this page called Space of LabVIEW has scraped the LabVIEW wiki pages and created blog postst for every page. This is in my opinion a violation of the creative commons version we use state Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). What kind of action should we take? Report it to blogspot? Ton
Francois Normandin Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 What kind of action should we take? Report it to blogspot? I agree, but it will have to be the owner of the labviewwiki.org domain that files the complaint... or perhaps everybody that posted some information on the wiki can file a complaint? Anyway, here's what blogger.com says about copyright issues. Taken from Blogger.com (blogspot) about copyright issues: Is a Blogger user copying your content?

Francois Normandin Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 I clicked this AM and only saw a definition of LabVIEW. Was there more there that is now down OR is ther another link involved? Ben It seems the author removed the content. It must have seemed like a good idea to get many Google Ads clicks with few efforts.
