All contents are © Rebecca G. Jones. I handle plagiarism with a loaded gun, so please READ THIS before you think about pulling anything.

For a general walk-through to copyrights and copyright protection, I suggest that you read the information provided at this website. But for those of you who don't like to read long sectional spans of information, I've provided the "cliffnotes" version below.

001. MY WORK IS MY BITCH

As the owner of every portion of this website, including ALL writing, graphical work, etc., I own the copyright to it. This means that I am the only person who can use this work. You are able to read it on this website, and you are able to link to the work as well, but you cannot use the work on your website or Facebook profile or whatever it is the kids are up to these days. I wrote it, you didn't. If you want your own copyright, then you can go and write your own poem and then brag to me about how you're the only person that can touch it at night.

002. CREATIVITY RAPISTS

If you want to do anything with my work, such as using it for an art project or some doo-dad, you need my permission first. If you take without my permission, you're violating my rights. It's exactly the same as trying to have sex with someone without their permission. So in other words, you'd be raping my beautiful words. Also, copying my work and claiming it as your own is considered PLAGIARISM, which really just means that you're a cheap douche. It doesn't matter if you steal one sentence or my entire portfolio, it's still plagiarism and I am still going to take my billy club like a battle-axe to your sides until you're pissing blood.

003. HOW I FIND YOU

A copyright lasts for the life of the author, and then for one plus fifty years after the author dies. So even if I'm dead and you feel like being lousy and you plagiarize my work, my rotting corpse will still haunt you in your wet dreams.

I use Copyscape to search the Internet for unauthorized copies of my work. So if you have anything of mine lingering around on your website, I will find you. What happens then is I will ask you to take the work down. If you don't do that I will contact your host and inform them of the copyright infringement.

Not only is my work published on the Internet, but I also have copies of every single piece of work featured on this website archived by date under my possession. Also, if I catch you infringing my words (yo), chances are that I'll be writing mean things about you on my personal website. It doesn't really do much, but it sure makes me feel a lot better.


Really, there is no better flattery to a writer than someone who tries to steal their work. It's happened to me, and although I was like a rabid mother bear who discovered that some kids were touching her cubs, it was flattering in a sense to know that some idiot was so jealous of my work that she went to the extents to steal and and pretend like she could ever write something other than bullshit. But really, is there much point to pretending to own something? Does it make you FEEL good to tell other people that you wrote something that you didn't?

You only get real joy out of what you do yourself. Even though you might feel good about stealing somebody's writing and getting away with it for a day or two, the fact is that you DIDN'T write it and that you have no idea what kind of thought and effort the author went to complete it. You too can experience your own joy if you harvest most of your life doing that you find joy in. Unless you're so thrilled by stealing, you klepto.
