IF has so many talented writers and creators. But why so little protection for their work?
Not only creative work but even general posts get copied!

This leaves no motivation to come and post online.

It's disheartening when your stuff is copied.

If India Forums has strict policies on external content then why no strict measure for internal content? Why nothing to protect members' work?

Why don't you disable right click and use of CTRL+C on your site? Why is NO COPY option not available for all pages and posts?

We spend so much time on what we do. It hurts to no end when all time and effort goes waste thanks to plagiarism!

I don't feel like posting anymore. In fact making every post Members only or adding No copy each time is odd. Why should we have to do it?

You have thousands of members and posts. Why don't you do something concrete to protect work of members? Or you think we just post time pass, faltu comments that merit no protection?

Agree. Please provide a safety net for creativity and originality for all. Also if people want to copy ask permission first and CREDIT your inspiration FIRST. It's good manners.

Very much so. Common IF, when we make something and post it in your website that obviously becomes your property. You do hold the right to take legal action if required to meet your needs.

More than ours it should be your concern.

I agree with all the comments.

Its takes a lot of brainstorming on our part to write a post or make a banner. Its like there is no value for all the hard work done by us and its all going in drain if we don't get the credit.

Its not appreciation we want, its a ban on CTRL + C so that no one can copy our stuff and CTRL + S so that no one can save our stuff and then copy it somewhere else.

Please do something about this or else there will not be anyone posting any such creative posts.

Agree. It is very irking to see our posts getting copied to various other external sites without even a decent courtesy of crediting it to the respective author . Instead of that , the plagiarist , attempts to parade it as their own to gain a few words of praise from the stars.
No ,we are not writing all these just to gain praises (if we do get, then we are happy) , but its our way of expressing our love for the work the actor's in their characters are doing . We make memes, write funny incidents or news, some of them are highly talented that they even painstakingly make beautiful banners and other creations . But , the award the get for hard work ? a freak who copies it and claims it as their own . This is just not done .

Again and Again , i would like to tell these are not isolated cases and are happening in large numbers .Disgusting 😡 Now, we think twice before we put up any post . Things are not coming free to us and what we post here is definitely not time pass . A whole lot of things are involved and that includes the precious time we allot here .

As the TM mentioned , pls
1. disable the Copy button and better the right click button . Disable the print and save as well.
2. enable the no copy button for all posts . In fact just like there's a option for restricting to members only , u can put a option as well for enabling no-copy.
