Dammit, that pisses me off too. I submitted a comment for that entry, assuming Ian approves it, that states she doesn't doesn't deserve the praise or credit for her code, and that she should have stated up front in the file description she ripped it off CCRP and Brad Martinez. That is so disrespectful and just plain unethical.

Saying it's something she found on the web, and that she left the author's name in the comments, well, that's just not right for work of that calibre. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Customer Hatred Knows No Bounds at MSFT ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc Free usenet access at http://www.eternal-september.org
From: Mayayana on 8 Jun 2010 17:51 | VersionLegalCopyright="Copyright � 1998 Brad Martinez, CCRP" | | I always had a very low opinion of PSC, and this demonstrates why | pretty clearly. | That was a bit disrespectful, though the author does write on the page: "Found this on the WEB, and id like to share it with you. The original author is in the comments. Modified some." I once had someone put much of my website onto their Wordpress page. I found out because the download links were still to my copies. I wrote to Wordpress and they promptly removed the site. But it was just a young woman, college-age. My impression was that it simply never occurred to her that everything is not free for the taking. I suppose PSC should police that a bit, but they're nevertheless a great place to find very good code that no one else has. And they don't require that people sign up, as Code Project does. (I've wondered if Google might have bought CP. Google returns a lot of links from there these days, but few if any from PSC. It's got to the point that I often just go to PSC now to search if I don't find what I want immediately from Google. Here's the Brad Martinez link: http://btmtz.mvps.org/shellmenu/ Oddly, when I searched for: vb6 shell context menu I didn't get much. A lot of the links are for software. When I add "Brad Martinez" his links come up at the top. I'm afraid that Google is getting steadily worse in their tendency to view the Web as less an information highway and more a "paying consumers' feed trough".

The original > author is in the comments. Modified some." Yes, I saw that, and that helped a bit. But still. It was pretty blatant. That said, I don't know the extent of her mods. If they were heavy duty, she has a case. I really didn't look through the code to see if they were all marked. Hopefully, they are! Then we're getting closer to fair. > I once had someone put much of my website onto > their Wordpress page. I found out because the > download links were still to my copies. I wrote to > Wordpress and they promptly removed the site. There's a site like that, out there, that was linking directly to my downloads. The thieves wouldn't answer my emails, so I wrote some code on my site to recognize when a download request was coming from somewhere else. And when that happens, I redirect instead to the page the describes the download. <eg> Example: http://www.brothersoft.com/karl-e.-peterson-console-198303.html > But it was just a young woman, college-age.
