Yes. There is a big difference between purchasing intellectual property, (ie. ghostwriter > signs NDA > gets paid > walks away happy = buyer has fully copyright usage) and plagiarism, (ie. buyer > buys book "consumption"> claims it's theirs > reproduces it in any form without citation).
The former is really no one's business but that between seller & buyer. The latter is a serious offense.
So, which is it @carlidos?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I have full rights of the articles, as stated I paid for them to be written for me.
@anxy why would you think otherwise? What gave you that impression? You didn't even talk to me beforehand as stated before you banned me with out actually speaking to me.
so @merej99 to answer your question Yes I have full rights of the articles, there was no need to state that in the posts at all, again restating why I said I bought articles to use for my own, just as online news media do.
I wrote this post because I felt I was misleading and also wanted to clarify the bashing that was sent towards me.
I only have a small voice, @carlidos, but I personally do not have a problem with this practice. As you've mentioned, it is acceptable in news wires where SP, Reuters, PR, Bloomberg, etc. are the sources, but newspapers worldwide pay for their content. It's even acceptable for published authors to find a ghostwriter who has the same style to help write their book especially with a pending deadline. Hopefully others will see reason and leave you be.
Because looking at the articles in question, they appear to have zero buyers. It is unclear if this means he has the license to redistribute for profit.
