A WORD TO ALL ABOUT COPYRIGHTS!

a couple days ago nickle wanted to use one of the poems i put in here in some english project. she said she could use one from an unpublished source. which got me thinking and although i'm not completely positive of all of the legal aspects of it. i think it's safe to say that when you put something in your blog. you are publishing it, just under an independant publishing site (blogger). this got me thinking even more about if somebody took something out of my blog without giving me credit. so just for laughs i searched for the title of all of the poems i have in here, in google. and beleive it or not i found one children's wine which i wrote for english and isn't even that good, was in a website for an 8th grade english class under some other kids name, (i'm not gonna mention it here). so i emailed the teacher with a link to the day that i published that poem to prove to her that I wrote it and am waiting for her to get back. i don't know i'm pissed off the kid didn't give me credit, but it's also kind of flattering that of all the stuff on the internet he chose my poetry to steal and exploit. ah well i hope he gets screwed big time for it. cuz i'm finally on the other end of the plagarism (jk).

now that i think about it i'm really surprised the kid got to my blog in the first place, i mean it's not exactly easy to come by unless u're looking for it. he couldn't have been looking for poetry cuz he never would have gotten to my blog. my guess is he was just surfing found it saw a poem he liked and thought it would be good.

i'll post when the teacher responds to my email
