I think it just goes to show that these sites are not capable of doing any decent reviews so use the wonderful Prog Archive reviewers instead.
 
 
 


I did a quick search on that site, and found reviews by Ricochet, Geck0, Melomaniac, Joren, Finnforest, Easy Livin, ClemOfNazareth... all without the a ref to ProgArchives, and likely without notifying the authors. Nice job Confused
 
They've used at least 8 of mine as well - mostly 2 and 3 stars, which I find a bit baffling considering they (presumably) want people to buy the CDs. On the other hand, it's kind of flattering...

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Here's my Rush's 2112 review, which appeared on this site:

http://www.muzikmarketi.com/story/rush-2112-1976-rated-55-by-barla/

I don't see this as a bad thing at all. They mention me, and the review is exactly the same as the one in ProgArchives. What is more, I find it as an achivevement to know that someone actually read my review and decided to publish it on his/her page. Smile

They told me they didn't want to rip me off...that they'd find better written material stealing the reviews of a blind drug addict...

Worst record ever? I beg to differ. Better look at my Wall 2000 send up first.

Actually it is when it is attributed to you. It's like a sort of homage.
 
But unforunately very few times have the reviews been dutyfully acknowledged.

Man, I SO want to find somebody using one of mine. That would make my day. Big%20smile I have no idea how I would, though, because doing a google search for "Shakespeare" just gives me sites about some old dead loaf who wrote a bunch of trash...

A bunch of plagiarized trash, mind you. (Way to make it relevant, Joshyboy Cool).

Well, it`s happened to me again. This website, sakallimusic.blogspot, ripped off part of my Guru Guru bio and combined it with a UFO review they ripped off from someone else.I don`t usually go surfing and just did this for the hell of it. It took me only two hits before I found it. At least they give credit to progarchives. Writing is definitely not my forté but I do my best and have to work at it. Why can`t these  b*****ds write their own s**t? Who knows how much of our material is out there.

My reviews are being used on eBay with NO CREDIT to me or this site - maybe I should ask for a cut in the sale price;
 
 
 
/edit - just emailled him, requesting that he at least does the decent thing and asks in future!
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

If anybody plagiates me I concider it as a sign that I have written something good enough to be stolen. If needed, I can prove the original text is mine, so it's not my problem but the shame of the thief, he hasn't achieved or created anything, just been a thief. LOL
