Dreams and Darkness LE

As Yahoo are killing off Geocites, I am taking this site down to facilitate a tidy removal.
Note that the copyright breaches will be left on this page.

The poetry that I wrote is available on Lulu and I have a copy of my very own so, yeah, vanity published in print.
Dated.
ISBN.
Copyrighted - like that's ever fucking mattered.
The lot.

This shit didn't happen anywhere near as often as it does now. What the hell happened that made people think it was okay to steal ideas, plagarise and flagrantly breach copyright law? I saw the 'net give birth to the Web. I saw the Web grow. Personally, now, after all this shit, I feel that maybe it should have stayed on the BBS networks. Maybe it would have been better that way. Fuck the public. They never needed the Web. They just thought they did. And look what happened - people pissing their precious time away on social networking instead of actually leading real lives. Logoff, logout, switch off, un-hook. Go out, enjoy, meet friends, give a fuck.

Have a better one.

Removal of poetry links. (not the files, leaving those in place for date stamp proof.)

Another *two* copyright infringements. By the same person (UsagiChi) on www.vampireforum.net.
Once again, "She" has been used and altered slightly and "Like-minded Individual". This is starting to take the piss now. I have also had pieces used in actual school and college papers by students passing them off as their own.
These pieces *are* published. Thus, UK, US and international copyright law covers them. Altering a few words here and there doesn't count! The piece cannot even be considered a derivative of the original.
The dates on this site (see here) predate the violation, as does the site on the Way Back Machine archive (year 2001), below:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010722153041/http://homepage.ntlworld.com/submu/ddv7/ - May be up and down but gives the date as 2001/07/02 which also predates any of these violations.

When did it become "okay" to plagarise in such a rough-shod manner?
Anyway, not much point doing a lot to the site now as Yahoo are killing off Geocites.

Well, interestingly, a MySpace user has been using my prose on her site and leaving it uncredited. I contacted her to point this out and was told, in no uncertain terms (see below) that she had written it herself and I should "f*** myself". So, if she returns to this site to rip off any more, then read this "Felicia™", and read it well:The date of the last upload to even this site predates that of your blog (23/08/2006). Geocities file dates cannot be forged by the uploader.
Stop lying to me, stop lying to your friends and more importantly, stop lying to yourself.

Um... I've had this before on another site but if you want to use my poetry/prose on a site, I would prefer that you at least give me credit for it, especially "She", for personal reasons. Cheers. (spiralDancer or subz would suffice).
This is a genuine request btw.
www.oocities.org/ivirekk for more.

Sick of this fucking bullshit. Do something original or are you so fucking delusional that you still think that *you* wrote this shit?

*gone*
