(Bonvolu Ne) Ŝteli Tiujn Blogaĵojn - (Please Don't) Steal These Blog Posts

Publika letero al la blogisto kiu uzas miajn blogaĵojn. A public letter to the blogger who is using my blog entries.
Bonvolu Ne Ŝteli Tiujn Blogaĵojn Please Don’t Steal These Blog Posts
Je jaŭdo, mi malkovris ke alia blogo uzas mian blogaĵon senpermese. Ne ĉiu blogaĵo, sed kelkaj, kaj nur la blogaĵoj pri la frua historio de la usona Esperanto-movado. Alia blogo, kun la sama nomo (sed alia retloko) uzas nur la komenco de la blogaĵoj, kaj tiam estas ligilo al mia blogo, kio ne ĝenas min. Mi volas ke miaj legantoj legas mian verkon ĉe mia blogo. Ĉi-tie.[1]

Multaj homoj kredas ke se io estas je la interreto neniu havas la kopirajton. Ili ne pravas. La verkoj ĉe mia blogo estas la miaj, kaj oni ne rajtas kopii ilin senpermese. Mi ne donas permeson kopii miajn blogaĵojn.
On Thursday, I discovered that another blog was using my posts without permission. Not every entry, but a few, and only the blog posts about the early history of the American Esperanto movement. Another blog, with the same name (but another website) uses only the beginning of the blog posts, and then there is a link to my blog, which does not bother me. I want my readers read my work at my blog. Here.[2]

Many people believe that something is on the internet no one has the copyright. They are not right. The works in my blog are my own, and they are not allowed to copy them without permission. I do not give permission to copy my blog entries.

Wilde at a Discount

Ten cents was cash in 1882
In June of 1882, Wilde was a celebrity in America and everyone wanted to read the poems of this apostle of the aesthetic movement. And just like popular (or even not so popular) writers today see the e-book versions of their works pirated, a similar thing happened to Wilde (though it did require a printing press).

The Seaside Library mentioned below was a New York-based publisher of cheap, pirated editions. Ironically, now they are quite rare. Wilde's particular indignity was that he actually had one offered to him for purchase. But let me give the anecdote in full, as it's told in the Hopkinsville South Kentuckian of June 6, 1882.
