in Copyright Myths Page Added on Plagiarism Today
Why don't you do a Creative Commons Myths section? For example, with CC, one can copy an entire website, just linking to the original one, or full articles just linking to the source at the end in a ridiculously small font. These things are done all day.

A good idea. I don't think I could do a whole page of them but how would a section in the existing page work for you? Any thoughts on that?

in RightsAgent is Down on Plagiarism Today
This is really a shame, but I guess that it did not get enough users because it was centered on Creative Commons, and most of us who are concerned about content being stolen use copyright.
Anyway, I think it was a great service.
Congratulations for your blog, Jonathan. Plagiarism Today is a kind of site that was long awaited by many of us. I subscribed to not miss any of your posts.

It is a shame but I do have a feeling this closure is permanent. As they say, the silence is deafening.
I have to slightly disagree though that most people who are concerned about content theft don't use Creative Commons. I use it on my site and have used it on every site I've run since the 1.0 licenses were released. I don't mind people using my work under certain conditions, but I protect the rights I reserve closely.
After all, Creative Commons does not replace copyright, nor is it meant to, it is a way to give permissions to use your work under certain circumstances.
I'm glad you like the site and definitely email me if there is anything that I can do to help!
