My dear Indian friends,

It appears that tygpress.com is putting out the entire output of my, and other peoples blogs.

Unfortunately they have not actually asked permission to do this.

However, I am pleased that my material is finding an audience out there in India, though I would prefer that you get the content direct from my blog:

You can do this by clicking this link:

If you like my writing you might be interested in purchasing one of my books. They are available on Amazon under either Opher Goodwin or Ron Forsythe.

Ron Forsythe is my pen name for my best Sci-fi novels:

Opher Goodwin is the name I use for a wide range of different books:

I think you will like what you find!

 

Thank you for your support.

  1. Days back, I recall you mentioned about a growing no. of visitors from India. Today, you mention Tygpress that has ~44% visitors from India. So, this seems the cause.

    1. Yes I think so. They have been putting out all my posts (as well as a number of other people) and I did not know. They did not ask. While I don’t think it matters – it is a bit unethical. They should have asked.

  2. Post your alarm, taken a curious look on Tygpress site.

    Observations :

    (1) Not sure, if it is violating copyright because the posts there seem to be referencing the original with “Read More” link. Do references violate copyright ?!

    (2) Moreover, it is still not plagiarising your content as it has clearly mentioned “Source” as your original site.

    This is why Law does not seem to be against Tygpress.

    1. I don’t know what the legality is – and I’m not really that bothered. I don’t think it effects my copyright and I’m not making money from my stuff. It is just impolite to life all my stuff without so much as a please.
      It does seem to bring me in a number of extra followers so I suppose it does some good.

    1. I don’t know Renard. I guess they are making money out of our efforts – but I am sanguine about it. At least my material reaches a larger audience!
      Wordpress won’t do anything and it seems to be legal. I’m not sure there’s anything to be done.
