    Here's the link to the infringing article...

    http://www.yourcomputerconsultant.com.au/support/default.asp?W276

    I don't think that's Fog Creek (Joel Spolsky) themselves. They sell FogBugz software for customers to host on their own servers.

    A whois check shows that yourcomputerconsultant.com.au is owned by Graham Weber.

    How about recommmending the recommmendation's recommmendation is to recommmend the recommmendation of supplying recommmendations for us to recommmend the recommmendation's recommmendation

    It's not just yours. He's also 'republished' the '20 tips to write better stored procs'

    http://balavardhanreddy.over-blog.com/article-34787540.html

    Steve, can you pass this to RedGate's legal dept. Sure, the 20 tops is mostly worthless, but it's still copyright violation, material take from this site.

    No kidding. I've only been plagiarized the once and it probably didn't count since it was really the SQLServerPedia feed that was getting ripped off. I'm feeling decidedly unloved and I'm watching that MVP thing slide away. Come on people. Steal from me too, darn it.

  • No one has done anything with my articles either... But I know why...:-) I havent written anything that is worth plagiarizing ๐Ÿ˜›

    Yes, but then would it really be plagiarism if you ask them to do it?
