copied worksheets
 
Why do people continue to download worksheets which have been reported as copied or stolen thus making these individuals gain points it�s not fair!!!

Dear fleur,
I agree with you 100%. I really don�t understand it either.
My own conclusion is that the uploaders and downloaders of stolen wss are both unscrupulous.
If people didn�t download stolen wss it would be easier for all of us to get read of the "fake" members.

This subject makes me furious and sad at the same time because I would really like to do something drastic about it.
The only things I can dot to try to minimize the problem are:
1 Report it to Victor
2 Write on the person�s ws to make people aware of it
3 I never download stolen wss on purpose. I write on purpose because If I don�t know that a ws is stolen, I can�t avoid downloading it if it�s useful.

"Always look at the bright side of life..."

Cheers

I completely agree with you. In order to get rid of people who steal worksheets it good be bettter if people stop downloading their worksheets, not only the stolen ones but also theirs. I don�t download them. However, if someone uploades one of my worksheets, as it happened to me, how can we really prove that it is ours?Does it appear anywhere the date when it was created? I�m asking because I don�t know. Maybe I have not looked carefully at them. I�ll have a look at mines now to see it there is any date attached to them.

Dear ssrl10

Every ws has a date and a number so don�t worry about it. Just look at the examples on the forum where there are some tutorial wss that are recommended.

Cheers
