On a routine check for copyright infringement last night, my team came across one of the most blatant cases of plagiarism I've ever seen. Na rutinski pregled za ugotavljanje kršitev avtorskih pravic sinoči, moja ekipa prišel čez eno najbolj očitne primere plagiatorstvo sem jih kdaj videl.

In clear breach of international copyright law, Brian Cimins, CEO and Founder of V očitnem nasprotju z mednarodnim pravom o avtorskih pravicah, Brian Cimins, izvršni direktor in ustanovitelj Grapplers Quest Grapplers Quest , twice – in December and February – copied the entirety of one of my most popular and comprehensive blog posts, claiming to be the author. , Dvakrat - v decembru in februar - kopira celoti enega od mojih najbolj priljubljenih in celovito blog delovnih mest, ki trdijo, da je avtor.

It's not uncommon to find instances where someone has reprinted one of my blogs to their website without permission, but it's usually just a case of unfamiliarity with copyright law. To ni neobičajno, da bi našli primere, ko je nekdo ponatis enega od mojih blogov na svoje spletne strani brez dovoljenja, vendar je ponavadi samo primer nepoznavanja zakona o avtorskih pravicah. What is so appalling and, frankly, stupid about this case is that Mr Cimins has claimed to be the author of my work.  The plagiarism is so brazen, Cimins didn't even bother to change the article to US English! Kaj je tako grozljivo in, odkrito povedano, neumno o tem primeru je, da je gospod Cimins trdil, da je avtor mojega dela. Plagiatorstvo je tako nesramno, Cimins niso niti trudile spremeniti članek ameriško angleščino!

I'm sure you'll agree, this is appallingly blatant stuff. Prepričan sem, da se boste strinjali, to je grozovito očitne stvari. Seriously, what kind of person does this?? Resno, kakšna oseba, ne to? When I shot him an email yesterday, he came back with an apology for the “inconvenience” and “confusion”. Ko sem ga ustrelil email včeraj, se je vrnil s opravičilo za "neprijetnosti" in "zmedo". No confusion here. Št zmedo tukaj. My work on his site with his name on it is stealing. Moje delo na svojo spletno stran z njegovim imenom na njem je tatvina. He also told me to “keep up the good work”. Povedal mi je tudi, da "nadaljevati dobro delo". Apparently, he needs more content to plagiarise. Očitno, ki jih potrebuje več vsebine plagiarise.

What now? Kaj zdaj?

If you ever read this blog, you would know two things about me: Če ste kdaj bral ta blog, pa ti veš dve stvari o meni:

1. I put a lot of effort into creating practical, best practice information and resources for the sponsorship industry. Sem dal veliko truda v ustvarjanje praktične, najboljše prakse informacije in vire za sponzorstvo industrije.
2. I am a major league idealist. Jaz sem velik idealist ligo.

For these reasons, I'm holding him to account to both his industry (MMA) and ours and am exploring my legal options. Zaradi teh razlogov, da sem mu gospodarstvu na račun tako svojo industrijo (MMA) in naši in sem raziskuje moje pravne možnosti. He has stolen my work and my hard-earned expertise. On je ukradel moje delo in moj težko prisluženi strokovno znanje. That is not okay. To ni v redu.

On the off chance you want to tell Brian Cimins what you think of his unethical, illegal appropriation of my work, this is how you'll find him: Na off priložnost, ki ga želite povedati Cimins Brian kaj si misliš o svojih neetično, nezakonito Odobritev moje delo, to je, kako ga boste našli:

Brian Cimins Brian Cimins
CEO & Founder, Grapplers Quest CEO in ustanovitelj, Grapplers Quest
Email: E-pošta: bcimins@grapplersquest.com bcimins@grapplersquest.com
Twitter: @GrapplersQuest Twitter: @ GrapplersQuest

Anyone else? Še kdo?

Our industry creates a lot of content. Naša industrija ustvarja veliko vsebine. Has anyone else faced this kind of blatant theft of intellectual property? Has kdorkoli še s katerimi se soočajo te vrste očitne kraje intelektualne lastnine? I'm flatly stunned. Jaz sem gladko omamen.

UPDATE 14 MAY UPDATE 14. maj

We let a range of MMA media know about Cimins antics yesterday, and have now heard back from a number of them. Pustimo različnih medijih MMA vedeti o antiki Cimins včeraj, in so zdaj slišali nazaj od številnih od njih. It would be fair to say is that he's not very popular. To bi bilo pošteno povedati, da on ni zelo priljubljena. One alleges he stole their database, which wouldn't surprise me a bit. Eden trdi on ukradel njihove baze podatkov, ki ne bi presenetilo me malo. And I got a link the this little tidbit: Apparently, In sem dobil link to malo Malčice: Očitno, Cimins had a side career as a cybersquatter Cimins je stran kariero kot cybersquatter . .
