Article Spinning : Hey! I Just Spun Your Article So Sue Me! I Also Copy-Pasted So Let Me Burn in Hell!


Wazzup Pilipinas!

"What do you do if a famous blogger "spins" your blog post and passes it off as his/her own at his/her blog site? Do you call his/ her attention, do you let it pass, or do you call an all-out war?"

I was intrigued by a discussion seen at a thread looming at a certain Facebook bloggers group. The members were having quite a long discussion about a blogger that has allegedly spun an article of another blogger, and how the PR firm, after being notified, belittled the situation.

They go on talking about how article spinning is under the crime of plagiarism since the content or idea is the same as the original article.

But the real problem is on how to confront the blogger being accused of article spinning.

The discussion continues to become a very long thread. I actually stopped reading and it must have died down since I no longer see updates or new post form the thread. Here below are selected portions of the discussion with very minor revisions just to correct or improve the flow of the discussion.

It is admirable to hear news about private corporations, as well as individuals and organizations, taking an active role in social responsibility in the form of partnerships, sponsorships, donations and other means.

With the government not able to provide for all the necessary funding to elevate the standards of sports in the country, private entities take over to subsidize or pay in full for the needs of noble efforts. Competing in international events will bring pride to our country especially if we win a considerable spot in the finals.

Taking part in an international event is great enough to promote our country globally. To have Filipino representatives taking part in such grand events inspires our countrymen to excel in their endeavors so that someday they to will be representing the Philippines.

Lorenzo the Musical : A Spectacular Show of Sights, Sounds, Lights and Acting!


Wazzup Pilipinas!

We are proud to be one of the online media partners of Lorenzo the musical which is currently running scheduled shows at the SDA Theater of St. Benilde.

The musical is an extremely extravagant offering of spectacular lighting, music and sound effects, costume, and acting.  Add to that several surprises you will never expect in a show as grand as this operatic performance. Plus you'll definitely be at awe when you see the humungous robot ala Voltes V coming out from the back stage.

I was having goosebumps seeing scenes after scenes of sensational acting and fancy outfits. The press preview attended by members of the media was a huge success of which I'm sure Christopher De Leon will be very proud seeing a lot of satisfied attendees.

The new original Filipino musical drew a standing ovation and its one of those rare moments when you will feel that you are truly proud to be a Filipino.
