Cyber Theft and Plagiarism - Illustrated

Cyber Theft or the stealing of personal information or other works involving the use of computer/technology is so rampant nowadays. These includes the copy-paste methods that some writers, be it journalists, bloggers, or even students and professionals does to make their assignments/jobs easy, without any regards to the original author of an article, photo, or other intellectual property which they found from the internet -- or the Cyber world.

On the other hand, Plagiarism - or the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work (Wikipedia), has also been spreading like a fart going out-of-control.

It's like common sense to a lot of people nowadays are no longer common, and cyber crimes have been much more notorious than all the other crimes on the dark roads. Should we wait before our own properties or us get victimized before we take control with these crimes? Or if you're one of those who have "innocently" been involved to these kind of activities, what would you do? Let's all start policing and guarding one another, at the same time, give respect if you still have a human-mind and brain that you could call your own!

Be guided with the comic illustration below which I found from my inbox courtesy of my officemate named Cyril Balboe, which was also passed on to him by one of his friends, whom his friends might have also got it from their friends, and maybe one of those friends of my officemates' friends found it from SystemComic.com and/or LoldWell.com.

A Heart For You Beats High

Image courtesy of Horvath What mattereth in a calm heart, that from you I cannot depart? A genial feeling overpowereth my smart, like a tranquil beauty of a portrayed art. What ariseth in a sleeping heart, that you had always been a part? A life filled with happiness, joy, and mirth, seemeth to me that I am in a new birth; What hath thou doest to me, that I have such love to thee? A weak heart doth jumpeth with glee, like a bird in mighty doth flee! Background: 04Nov1998 @ 1029a, the poem's title was derived from the last verse of Rizal's poem entitled " To Josephine " which reads "late por ti un Corazon" in spanish. This poem was inspired by one silent lady whom I have fallen in love with back in my College days (aherm!).

Kalawakan

Kalawakang walang hanggan, kalawakang 'di lumilisan; Parang langit ang kapangyarihang, natatanaw sa dalampasigan. Sa dilim ng gabi'y, liwanag ang iyong taglay; Sa paggising ng umaga'y, pag-asa ang naka-alalay. O ano'ng hiwaga ang nadarama! sa kagandahan mong kahanga-hanga; Tunay at walang hanggang ligaya, sa iyo, nadama't nagsimula.
