Perhaps because they do not want work, and prefer copying for who has the most original ideas, these copiers they want this to get more sucess with his "plagiarism projects"

[Hugop]

Sometimes we really need the content f.ex when we describe a movie, copy stats of a PC etc.

About blog articles, they are only allowed to steal contect when they make a backlink to your site.

MyAnimeList has half of its content stolen because they have to time adding contect for each anime that exists but they are still ranked high.

[thisnthat]

because is forever easty to copy paste a content then create your own , and manny ppl including me dont know how to write a perfect english , and prefer to steal content

You straight up admit that you intentionally steal from other people and you think that's okay? Really? Would you walk in a store and steal?

[shadypro]

They steal content cuz of two reasons - 1.They are lazy nor don't have time to make content themselfs. 2.They can't make high quality content by themselfs.

[troslim]

I think they do it because it costs them very little effort while still getting good/high quality content. They are too lazy or don't have the skills to do it themselves.

[turbopt]

And when you have a low ranking web and you create only your own content, and comes a big site and steal? they will assume we are the stealers?

[hadouxm]

i think because the are lazy and also they have not mind to think and write as others.

I'm pretty sure Google can figure out who posted what first. They should be able to see that the content was yours originally, if they bother. You probably still get penalized for the content no longer being unique, but that's probably an automated thing. I don't think you'd be accused of stealing by Google though, since they should be able to easily figure out who posted the content to start with.

Lack of creativity coupled with lack of respect!

[TotallyNerdDude]

There are so many reason why someone is stealing other persons content. First, probably they saw that content is popular and earning big money so the tendencies are to copy them because they expect to earn the same thing. Second, maybe because they're lazy enough to create their own content so might as well use ctrl + c, ctrl + v from others. Of course, it's against the rule of copyright and plagarism but they will still continue because no ones stopping them. Lastly, they think that stealing is not wrong since so many people do the same thing.

Based on my own experience, it really pissed me off knowing someome is using my intellectual property without even giving me credit and what's worst is that, he's claiming that it's his own content and I'm the own who stole it from him. I just wish there's an end of this struggles.

[yuya360]

because they lazy to make their own content

[dannixx55]

I think it's because people who steal other people's contents are just too lazy to make or create their own content. If you do this or maybe you know of someone who does this please tell him/her to quit.

[errorwin]

There are people who have no confidence in their ideas, they steal content, but there are also people who work the drafting of any amendment and this content is better than stealing content even without understanding I think that there are ways To protect the content.

[reyleigh29]

Some people is just too lazy to generate their own content or maybe in a hurry but this is very dangerous because the owner of the content could file a suit.

[scorpio]

For me, those people are lazy. they steal coz they are lazy to think of their own idea.

[Coinlv]

Because some people are lazy and don't like to create something unique.

[thisnthat]

Kind of like in this thread where most just repeated the same thing?



What else? What other reason, besides laziness, do you think people have for stealing content? What benefit do they get from doing it? Don't you think they will eventually get penalized for this behavior? How does it hurt the original creator, besides simply having their content stolen?

Let's have an actual conversation not just 20 posts of "they lazy."

[ramzan00]

It's a normal reason people do copy paste so that they can do things fast and earn. But only those people does this who doesn't have any idea :_:

[lightning18]

I do think that people steal because they don't think that the internet will find out. Sometimes they don't know how to write good content so they copy portions of other people's articles then add their own which is also the same as stealing. I also think that they want to post articles so fast that they do not mind stealing.

[Jotomy]

You know I do steal content online and paste it in my blog because my blog is about kids education so I thought of keeping best stories and best lessons for them so I collected some of the best things from the other sites and pasted in my blog.
