And with that, I’m closing comments on the thread (per likely suggestion from LL) and will re-open them later.

Garbage. Take all this back to the UG. This is a respected news site and if I wanted to discover some self important troll’s “blog,” I would go to the Sherdog forums or the UG. Zach, you don’t need to advertise this crap on FightOpinion. Please people, keep this place from turning into a postwhoring club like every other MMA website.

The only difference is that other sites a) just put links to the articles up or b) write a summary in their own words and add a source link. Sorry, mate, but lifting entire articles off other sites, even if it includes a source is considered theft of intellectual property. And i won’t even go into using a picture from MMA Weekly, which is not marked as a promotional item (such as an official poster for a Pride or UFC card).

A bit more on the subject (and advice to Caleb):

lol…The reason I am well known is because I don’t lie or “assfuck” anyone, ever…And if ANYONE needs help with anything MMA related, I am there free of charge if it’s a good cause. Period.

If anyone has a complaint with me, it is well known that all they have to do to have it resolved is talk to me about it. I am actually very open minded and willing to change, if your polite about things…But I don’t respond well to this sissy shit.

Evil Master is a well known ug’er who will do ANYTHING to get people to like him on the internet and has NO moral qualms with stealing, lying, or assfucking those he claims to support.

Lol at this crap…This is what news sites do, they share information in order to spread the news. Links to the original sites are included. Which makes it no different than the hundreds of other blogs doing the same thing, including this one.

It is not my intention to try and compete with anyone…I am just providing a profit-free service for my fellow MMA fans to enjoy.

Sorry to scare any bloggers out there, I realize it is hard to compete with me. Your just going to have to try harder and take it to another level if you want to keep up…

At any rate, Make some room. Because EvilMaster has arrived in the blog world. And I like it here…Resistance is futile…

P.S: Love this site by the way…Keep up the good work.

And am I the only one who thinks that Gary Shaw looks a lot like actor Brian Cox (Super Troopers, The Ring, Bourne Supremacy) ??

Zach, that EvilMaster guy is lifting “his” content off various other sites, including yours. Just this day alon he has taken the “Gary Shaw jumps on Bandwagon”-article from the Houston Chronicle, MMA Weekly’s “DANZIG HEADED TO PRIDE TO FACE SAKURAI” (he even put the title in capital letters like them, and took a photo with their Copyright on it!), “UFC wrestling star Matt Hamill attends deaf tournament” from The Argus and your “CSAC suspends yet another fighter” only slightly altering the titles. He may have added you and the Chronicle to the respective articles as sources, but still, that’s one of the most blatant cases of ripping someone elses work off that i’ve ever seen.

The best thing to do in this case would be to contact Blogger (via the “Flag this!-button) and tell them about EvilMaster infringing your copyrighted materials.

And to Doyle: I feel for you, i really do. That was not what i had in mind when i decided to stay up until 5 in the morning to watch the game…
