After having spent time researching, writing a good article and at the end of the day, some 'smart' dude plagiarised your hardwork and claim ownership of it. That really sucks! Part of the blame should be shifted to the so called "Marketing Gurus" that invented scripts which could rewrite 'stolen' articles turning them into 'unique' articles selling these scripts like hot cakes to newbies! So who started plagiarism in the first place? I understand the predicament of a writer.

One of the examples he gave was using public domain works. While the end result may or may not be worth anything, that's a far cry from stealing someone else's work. I'm fairly certain he didn't mean to imply that anyone should do this: "This means that Mr. Zarella is advocating using the content we’ve written, that our clients have paid for – our original, researched work – and copying it". So, a discussion centered around "value" of legitimate content reuse is good, but let's not get upset about something that Dan didn't suggest.
