Plagiarism: Reprints PG's 'The Equity Equation' with new name and no link back to source!

6 points by drm237 19y ago

This guy reprints Paul Graham's 'The Equity Equation' but changes the name to 'The Executive Equation' and doesn't cite the source except by leaving a few links point back to paulgraham.com. Is it just me, or is this not blatant plagiarism...

Who would hire a tech consultant with an AOL email address?

  What's wrong with AOL? It's the internet isn't it?
  - rms 19y ago
    Nothing is inherently wrong with AOL. But there is something wrong about a tech consultant with an AOL email address.

      Heh. I had hoped the saracasm in my comment was evident. Apparently not!

It's funny that his tag line is "leading through innovation."

His phone number is up there. Maybe someone should kindly tell him that plagiarism isn't very innovative.

Complete with original footnotes. :-)

  The footnote links in the article leads back to http://www.paulgraham.com/equity.html http://www.paulgraham.com/equity.html . They don't even know how to steal content correctly.
