Stop Copying!!!
 
Unfortunately,  Fofuda( Brazil)  used a lot of  material which I personally had elaborated fom my worksheet titled Classroom rules- eslprintables200098232101725044556.
 
I think this attitude is inacceptable between colleagues who are supposed to share work and collaborate and not misappropriate  others � work. 
 
This printable - 200982413116238816624 Title Must or mustn īt 24.8.2009  - should be removed!!!!!

This is no advertisement!

It is about personal limits a correct person should have!

Hello Argy,

Why don īt you just report this worksheet ? It has not been reported yet although that īs the first thing to do in that case. No need to inform people on the forum.

Sorry aabazi, there was a misunderstanding here. Of course your post had a different aim. We were just telling another member not to take this opportunity to advertise her work. That īs all. Sorry for the mess!

I īve had the same problem and I don īt think it īs fair.
 
It takes time to find cliparts and beautiful images. Sometimes we have to modify them. And then people use them in their worksheets and upload them as their own.
 
And the worsheets aren īt deleted !! It īs totally unfair and I don īt agree with this.
 
If people can use our images and create their worksheet pretending they have worked hard, what īs the point ? !!! All they do is "copy" and "paste". That īs not work for me.
 
I don īt feel like sharing my worksheets anymore. I īm so dispappointed.

Hi aabazh
 
Can I just say that some of the images you have used have been used by other members long before you.  Does that they mean they can now say that you copied from them? 
 
Also, in Foduda īs defence I would like to say that he/she has images on their WS that you don īt have.
 
Is it possible that you all found these images by your own means and it īs just pure coincidence that you all used them?  Given the amount of images available on the net I would think that this is more likely.  If someone was going to copy your WS it would look more like your WS than it currently does.  I think it īs just conincidence, but then that īs just my opinion and I may be wrong.
 
Cheers

If it is only the images that were copied, and you did not personally create the images (i.e. draw them by hand, or create them on your computer)...then, I īm sorry but it is allowed to use those images because you do not OWN the images. You cannot stop people from using the same images that are available on the internet or some kind of clipart software. You can only report the worksheet if the content is copied or if you created the image and it was copied.

In response to lasnoop59...yes it takes time to find those cliparts that are appropriate for our worksheets, but that does not mean it is unfair for others to use those cliparts too.

One - if you feel someone stole from you - report it.
two - We are 212043 registered members here - all making Worksheets.  There are bound to be a few who find the same images and use them in their worksheets.!

I know for a fact that many use the same images - but the content and activities are what make the difference. Because that is where the worksheets become personal and creative.
