... including my obfu: Nervous sub. (Unattributed plagiarized copy posted here by Logicus.)

What did I do to deserve having something that took me a couple of hours to write stolen and posted on someone else's site without so much as an attribution? Even something such as, "This was invented by davido over on PerlMonks." would have been courteous.

Instead, it's made to look as though someone else wrote it and posted it there.

It reminds me of Lee Marvin's line from the movie "Emperor of the North". "Kid, ya got no class!"

    A creator does not surrender the rights to their work by posting it online. A piece is protected by copyright the moment it is created.

    Also, while the maintainer of a website may decide they don't care about the ownership rights of individuals, the domain registry and web host may have concerns.
