Myspace: Wow!
It took Myspace all of 19 minutes to delete from Chad Ronning's blog all the content that he had stolen from me. Big congratulations to everyone at the Myspace Copyright Department for a fast and fair enforcement of their terms and conditions and of copyright law.
User-generated content like you find on Myspace, Youtube and similar sites is the only thing keeping the internet from becoming a weak reproduction of broadcast television. Thieving douchebags like Chad Ronning devalue original internet content.
As a general rule, anyone who wants to use something I've written just has to ask - I'm hardly a copyright nazi. Just show some basic courtesy. Better yet, write your own stuff.

Goddamn that Chad Ronning guy is a fucking idiot. I can see homework (I myself am one lazy fucker), but what kind of dipshit plagerizes someone else's thoughts. That ranks right up there with one of the most asinine things I've ever heard of.
I can't decipher which ones he copied. Help here?
P.S. Hi Chad.
Sorry Colin, it is a bit confusing now that they took his stolen posts down. I didn't expect myspace to be that fast. If I remember correctly, the rants he stole were bicycle helmets, stories about your cat, tampon commercials, TLC, the missile shield, and golf clubs. I don't even think those are my best ones (other than bicycle helmets). Why pretend you wrote my second rate material?
wow...how'd you find that?
eh who cares
Q1: How did I find that?
A1: Somebody who reads my site sent me an email letting me know. I thought it was nice of him - thanks James.
Q2: Who cares?
A2: I care a bit. Anyone who has wondered how myspace deals with copyright violations cares a bit. Copyright violation as it pertains to the internet in general, and user-generated content in particular, is an interesting topic these days if that's your thing. http://news.google.ca/news?hl=en&q=myspace%20copyright&sa=N&tab=wn
HAHAHAHA CH4D'S R3T4RD3D.
yeah but we already knew that
I can almost guarantee that the dipshit that said "wow...how'd you find that" and "eh who cares" (notice the quotes... the correct way to do things) was that Chad Ronning guy. He's probably crying now.
Look here at the 2nd comment posted on this guys page. Its that Chad Ronning fellow ripping off another one of your blogs word for word.
