So what do you think what should i do next time when this happens???

Thanks for this article. My blog was just plagiarized yesterday in a way that seemed entirely intentional. Small changes to the article were made in an effort to make it unique but 95% of the article were literally transcribed from my original. It was posted as original content with no citation at all or link and worse, they provided a trackback to the article they plagiarized from me. I did leave them a comment and was firm but still kind. I have asked them to provide proper citation and a link. Let’s see what happens. Thanks again for the info.

Well, Copyright act cannot be applied on any philosophical idea per say. As for example, if I have an idea for Privatization of Roads, I write it up and if someone reads it, and gets some inspiration by the philosophy behind the idea, and further improve it and produce a new series of work, it is his choice his freedom. Intellectual property is hard to prove and todays anti-piracy laws are extremist kind they are not healthy. That is why these days, most of the libertarian writers, painters, artists uses common creative licenses. I have a different view over copyright act, please have a look Legal or Illegal: Violation of Copyright That does not mean that I do not not support copyrights. I answered that post well by mentioning the proper reason why copyright are valid here Violation of Copyright is Illegal Yet, I agree that the copyright laws of present system are ridiculous and exploitative.

Much depends on the intention of the writer. Yes, if one feels that one’s product is the result of toil and moil of long hours of writing and is something novel, deserving monetary rewards, then I believe that one should stick to the gun of taking offence at being copied.
At the same time, if the purpose of writing is to spread awareness, or to educate then I believe one should not be unduly perturbed but seek the acceptance of one’s labour by the general public as one’s reward.
One thing I wished that the writer of this piece of writing had mentioned is, how to go about making a copyright of the work. By that I mean, what’s the best, hassle-free and actually free way of doing so.

@pulkit If u rightly give the credit to the source(in this case Wikipedia), then the issue is solved and there wont be any question about plagiarism.
