I think I read somewhere that those could be used in a combination attack.

To be fair Moriarty, Psycho hasn't been around for a few weeks now.

At least, I haven't seen him post the past few weeks.

I haven't seen him on MSN either.

I think it's because I haven't posted enough in this topic. He tends to appear in topics specifically to argue with me. Heh.

I know the guy, and I believe it. Beyond that, I'm not saying anything. Otherwise I'd swear and get notified and that would be bad :(

Isn't it illegal to scan parts of strategy guides too? Something about reproduction by photo?

Probably. But given the limited extent of the scans and their intended purpose, I doubt anyone will care.

You know, it's almost getting to the point that all the new submissions should be checked for plagiarism prior to posting. Which is bad considering there isn't the staff to do that, there isn't a feasible way to GET the staff to do that, and it would slow the posting of new guides to a crawl. And there's no good reason it should have to be done in the first place.

I am not an expert, but I believe that under this situation, those scans would be considered to be fair use.

In my defense, it is a fairly old FAQ, it was taken down for plagarism before, and CJC reposted it after the incident because I credited the proper sources.

By the way, I rarely ever go online any more so if any one would like to contact me about this further, my phone number is (561) 574-4509. I don't feel like fanning the flames on another witch hunt online, but if any civilized people want to keep me up to date, there you go.

i really can't be bothered making an international phone call. I say that if you want to look for a plargarist, you should check the profolics, and look for those who have either contribued 25 guides or more or 2.5 mbs +. Because its them who tend to get their guides done fast. I've got 1.1mb to my count over 1 and a bit years, which isn't much compared to these faqing "experts". And no, i don't copy work, because if I were to copy a prima or brady guide, that would involved alot of typing and its too boring, so i placed stupid comments along the way :)

The fact that you act non-shalant is enough proof of your guilt.

Plagiarism is completely unacceptable. So I am glad someone spotted it was copied. Not that I am the most avid FAQ writer in existence, and will probably be told I am not relevant to the large universe that is star wars.

Public of the enemy I am not :P
