Let's see what's interesting today. Remember my previous Read.Cash article about the userbase reaction of the new updates? Apparently, a Filipino has decided to dupe and translate @Myt.24's post plus his other post was previously duped in a similar fashion. Thanks for @Jdine for pointing the second instance out and for @Read.Cash for immediate removal of both articles This can bring an extremely sad conclusion that Filipinos cheat and copy stuff to make it their own to earn money. Which, if you really look, may not be true at all. This is just an extreme conclusion, not dooming other fellows Filipinos. This brings me to my verdict on this small but very important post. Everything that touches the internet, if it is yours and you made it yourself, has a copyright on it. Art, Music, Writing, Pictures, everything. Even your private pictures you didn't place in public. Which means you shouldn't really repost someone's art unless you have permission, because worldwide-applicable copyright laws can bite your back. The same is true for writing. You don't see a translation of a very famous novel without the novel itself published by the same publisher as the original one (unless it's Wattpad or some fanfiction site, then it's fair use which is very complicated and it does not hold up to law sometimes). This is why the whole SCP Foundation rallied up against someone named Andrew Duskin, who attempted to takeover SCP Russia by using a loophole to trademark the SCP logo in Russia. This is not a trademark battle, but a copyright one. Ideally, the same can be said in blog posts. Whatever you wrote here is exclusively yours. Nobody can copy it or its parts without permission (plagiarism), nobody should put your words to a bad light (a fair use case), and definitely nobody needs to translate a blog post without even going to the proper channels. Help each other out, read carefully. Once you get a déjà vu on a translated post, make sure it's the (1) same author; or (2) original is referenced. But hey. That's just my opinion, interpretation, observation. As a message for @Myt.24, I think you should go and translate those articles yourself and post them on your article. Just kidding~ Just keep your head high, pal.

I hope to not see these problems on platform again...
He might not be a Filipino though cause one should know if your translation with your own native languahe is in mess. I mean the translation is really bad in Tagalog grammar. If he's a Filipino, he must've not read the translation and just post it right away. haha
That is possible since if you do such things you are mainly busy copy-padting and not focusing on grammar or invest time in editing.
yeah. "i'll just copy-paste this and submit.... it's google, how can i go wrong with this" - this is what he must've taught haha
Well, I think both articles, one that you spotted and the one he spotted, will put a bad light to the Filipino community here.
sorry I don't understand? who spotted who? who's he?
@Myt.24 himself found someone plagiarizing on his content before, I mean, here's the article about it: https://read.cash/@Myt.24/plagiarism-is-a-crime-8688fbd4
oh.. yeah yeah I read that ... hehe.. Let's just prove people that not all Filipinos are same as those 2. hehe...
I wonder about your picture... It's what catcher my eye. You drawer it? It's a vampiremerrkat?
That, my friend, is a friend's commission from FurAffinity. Really good one. Kinda tempted to get another one as soon as I am able to do PayPal, which I can't. EDIT: It's a folf. Fox-wolf.
Should I really do that? Translating my articles into Filipino language (Tagalog)? Well, other people really want to help me do that 😂 but it's worst.. 'coz they don't even reread it. They just post it without knowing that it cannot be understand. 🤦♀️ Thanks for writing this article. 👍
Thanks for the feedback, I am striving for the equality, and greatness of every community I deem good. And also because sometimes you get lessons in every scenario you face.
