I was in my usual works of EC dropping when I first read the horrible incident of paid review copying of Juliana from Juliana's Lair. As a blogger, I write for several reasons, inclusive of which is for paid reviews. I had my usual ups and downs from doing this where the most recent was getting my review rejected for grammar errors after several grammar rechecking. OMG! It really made me stir! But, to actually know that other bloggers could have copied my hard-worked review, that could indeed make me bolt and spit anger!
I could only share the sentiment of Juliana to see her own work from someone else's blog and the case of Leomar, another Pinoy, on a paid review for only $2.00 was simply beyond reproach. Regardless of the paid review amount, this is now a question of principle. I just cant imagine how a blogger could actually be proud of her earnings simply from cheating and stealing.
I do copy images and thoughts on personal posts to at least support my conviction but I do give due credits to the sources. But to do this on paid reviews, goodness, I must be totally brainless to just steal the works of others.
So, I am taking my duty to spread awareness and responsibility by sharing this meme.
