I wanted to start a thread in the hopes of getting people's opinions on one specific topic which is related to Cartomancy whether it is Tarot, Oracles or other fortune telling systems.
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
If you are a writer on your website or blog and create content to share with others to help them study card systems would you be offended, miffed or angered at the fact that someone else copied your ideas and claimed them as their own?
People love to share information on the cards by using personal or study examples. Once you put it on your website or blog it's open territory to anyone to use. Most people do provide link backs to the original source or writer. And then there are some people who copy & paste and say it's all their stuff.
My question is as follows:
How would you address this situation if it was your creative content being used by someone else calling it their own?
