Description
Copyright, Trade Mark, All Rights ReservedThese say it’s mine, pickled and preserved
Mine and not yours, does this make sense?
I paid for it with my own dollars and cents.
Copyright means you’re not allowed to steal
You’re free to read, enjoy and collectively feel
Trade Mark says that I created it on my own
So I’d like to keep the glory for where it’s shown
All Rights Reserved means it’s reserved for me
It’s mine, I created this. Can’t you see?
I Fear you’ll get all the recognition for this
I Fear you’ll get all the glory that I’ll miss
So please I beg of you to cease this game
It’s not yours to get the fortune and fame
So stop stealing my words and ideas
You’re only confirming my worst fears

I SECOND THIS.
Someone stole one of my stories once. They posted it on a blog, and when I told the site that it was stolen, they banned the user, but left the story up.
Meaning that not only was the story still there, but I couldn't even get the poster to take it down.
It feels really awful. With this weird little bit of "well, I'm glad you liked it that much...?"

What you said up there is seriously true,it's facts of life. Really gives a meaning to me, infinity%
There are many people who steal others work and then said its theirs
As you know that i draw what i see from sources i.e the web but i know doing it this way is not stealing, copy and paste IS STEALING!
I like it anyway!

This is fantastic and to the point. But the people who do these things often cant read or just Don't want to as they are not Smart enough to come up with their own.

I've been writing a poem about poetry theft...but it sounded ridiculous. But you have expressed it well, much better than I could have. You've portrayed my thoughts beautifully. x

I totally feel for you. I've read about 10 poems and other literature that sound so much like mine, I was really annoyed and still am. And people have used my poems in their deviations, without my permission too. This is why it would be great to get my poems published. *dreams*
You're welcome for the fave. You've spoken my mind eloquently here. xx
