Copyright and Website Violations

It's almost amazing how so many people across the country and also from outside the country get involved in the political process. Nothing wrong with it, but when it turns to outright blatant copy and paste of a political website onto another domain without the permission of the owner and including links from other well-known websites that are non-profit organizations that do good for the public domain, these same people continue and violate those sites terms by posting their links on their sites without permission and continue to do so.

It's no wonder that we have a world were we can't trust each other anymore. Take for instance Samuel Anderson and Vote Change Now Campaign Website. His site has been the talk of the Internet lately and it appears that publishers want to make their own editing of this site including outright copyright infringement. These folks don't know that by doing this and expecting that this person can't do anything because freedom of speech is incorrect and can bite them later on by their willful continuation of copyright violations which are posted on the websites of everyone.

Let it be known that if you continue to publish pages and website copies without permission just because you feel like it or feel protected by the law you had better know which law you are thinking about because others have tried it and others have failed. Willful neglect and continued abuse will get those who think they have protection under the law into great trouble now or later. I would not want to be in their shoes because it can be very costly.

My name is Jonathan Cole, I'm a real live human being and I write about those who have NO RESPECT for the law and others. I've written for several well-known publishers and print news media organizations. I chose to write about this particular person and his site because I have been covering his city recently and many of the surrounding cities keeping a direct eye on the local city politics. With the election only a few months away, he's in the lead and appears to be keeping it strong and will become the next city council member of Manteca. Just remember folks, if you see something that appears wrong or different, and the domain does not match the real web site, then there is something wrong and PHISHY about it. Don't trust it!
