Gamepad.it hosting Racketboy content?

Post by philipofmacedon »

I stumbled across this site today. It looks like Racketboy's content but without any citation.

Yeah, didn't even change the font, did they? Posted it one day after Racket. They're an Italian site...

What's this? Racket is stealing other people's content?

Shame on you Racket!

lol
Actually, this was brought up in the forum before.
I spoke with the guy a while back and he supposedly stopped doing it.
I THINK this one was before that.
If there's newer stuff (last month or so) lemme know.

Copyright law, yeah.
Anything that is written and published has, at the very least, implied copyright. You don't even have to state that it's under copyright for it to be copyrighted.

Wow. Those boys over at Gamepad sure can write themselves an article.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
