Netpeckers may not be satisfied that google credits give proper credit to owners of copyrighted material, but they'll satisfy most. They're certainly a lot better than reproducing material without giving any credit. | Rather than cite a specific source for a quotation, you can use google credits to provide multiple sources from which a reader can choose. | Using google credits can help you get around ending up with dead links on message boards or on your web pages. |
Here's a google credit using text from a pseudodictionary entry. If some other site has reproduced that text exactly, it will show up as a hit. That's one way we find poachers who have copied half-vast amounts of the pd without our permission. Other times, what we turn up are fans who have copied a few entries they liked. We don't mind if people do that -- but we do want them to link back to us.
What really galls us is people who take our (mostly your) cleverness and intellectual property and pass it off as theirs -- even going so far as to post a copyright notice indicating that they are the copyright owners. That has happened much more often with the database at SlangSite than it has with the database here. SlangSite had our permission to post the material originally, but we may need to revisit that agreement if problems continue with our copyrighted material being propagated via SlangSite.
On a few occasions, using text from a pd entry has led us to a site where it was clear that what appears on our site was on the other site first. We're rarely asked to remove anything, but we've done so on more than one occasion when we've been asked to. We have no interest in passing off others' work as ours.
