Frustrated with the official site, I've kept an eye on this nsc spin off site and all they do is copy stuff from other places and pretend it is their own. They never mention the original source.

Can you spot the difference between these

Nothing wrong with alittle competition.

Yes it's fine. They should source the material though, although not required, it is good practice.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Agreed.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

They're are just grouping all Albion news into 1 website, can't see why that's a problem..

 

[Gazwag]

There is a reason it's called Seagull-schat

Unless you have an alien cover-up conspiracy thread running

so if it is ok to just copy and paste newspaper articles to your own website, can the mods do the same here please?

it would make sense to have all the albion news and all the albion talk in the same place.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Why does it bother you that much? Get over it - life's too short.

Albion in the news

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

They provide a service and i know it's only human nature but if you really want the number 1,why look elsewhere than right here traitor!!!

To the OP and i was jesting

Of course it's not fine!

They're breaching copyright. Text and images. And data (fixture lists etc).

Bit of a pisstake really!

 

[Beach Hut]

It's lovely

XXX

LOL

 

[Buzzer]

Which begs the question - if a football forum plagiarises but no-one reads it how many times should one LOL?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Of course it's not fine!

They're breaching copyright. Text and images.

At the same time, when people on NSC link to images, by default it copies the images to NSC servers.

Personally, I think being able to do this makes the internet lovely, that images, videos and text is easily shared around.

Talking of which after that Spanish language Albion Twitter thread this morning I had a look at that Falkor's Twitter account. Turns out he's really a West Ham fan. It's about the only thing he did keep quiet about.

Not so 'lovely' for the people taking the time and effort to create the content though, is it?

I bet you wouldn't be so amused if someone ripped off your site...

 

[Husty]

Anyone fancy a CURRY? xxx loolllliol
