I'm tired of the idea that it's okay to do this, or even publish substandard crap and then expect to be respected. Those of us who blog and take it seriously put in countless hours writing, photographing/editing and coming up with ideas. It gets really old after a while. I like the snark, bravo.

We were looking at apartments for our graduate student son and found an attractive one on Craig's List. However, given the street address in State College, PA, we could not for the life of us figure out where it was. Somehow through some serendipitous web searching we discovered those advertising the apartment in State College, had stolen attractive pictures from a realtor's site advertising an open house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. What scam they were trying to pull off eludes me, but then one could accuse me of being naïve, I suppose.

Someone running one of the kleptographer sites in question?<br />Your style is so unmistakeable that people who know it will know when they see it anywhere else. The problem is, people who know it aren't likely to stumble on ripoff artist blogs to witness the theft in question because they're drawn to the real deal. Agreed with Vecchio Vespa that our copyright and intellectual property laws are currently no match for the present Internet environment.
