Don't Speak by No Doubt

Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Cyber Creatures






Every online creature comes from an adoption center of some sort. And every adoption center is carefully planned out and created. But, not every adoption site is protected against the worst virus of the net... online theft...

First, I shall start with the basics. Online theft happens when someone takes the idea/picture/adoption of somebody else and uses it for their own causes WITHOUT permission. This is also called breaking copyright

For those of you who do not know, I shall explain copyright to you. Pretend you were sitting down in school, while your biology teacher(namely, Mr. Edwards) goes on and on and on... you are bored, and have nothing to do but listen.. until.. suddenly an idea pops into your head. Now, this idea is small at first.. until it grows. Your imagination takes flight as this idea becomes larger at the second! After a long day of school, you finally go home and do this idea of yours. After working for quite awhile of doing this idea, your idea is now a masterpiece for others to see. And you let people see it.. oh, you show off and let them see your masterpiece of thought and imagination you carefully created! That, my friends, is copyright.

Now, let me tell you about copyright theft. Now, days pass after you were credited so highly for your masterpiece.. one day, while minding your own business, you notice someone has an exact replica of your masterpiece WITHOUT permission. This person is showing it off, and even said it was created by him/her. Doesn't that POe you off? That, my friends, is copyright violation and copyright theft.

Online theft is the exact same thing, only online. We cannot stop this horrid illegal manner to adoption sites, BUT we can prevent it. All we need is YOUR support and help. Please join, and become one of us. Warriors of destroying the thieves of the net(Dramatic!).
