Yesterday I got a PM from a certain Stripcreator_King, asking me to read his comics.

This is his first comic:

350063

Now read the start of my series called the Reality Adventures:

346991

First of all, mine were called Reality Adventures, he has named his Reality Comics. A bit of a rip off there, but once you read a few more, it's almost a total ripoff of my story, right down to the characters.

What I'm saying is, surely there should be rule against copying other people's work.

There are rules about it. It's called plagiarism, and under the right circumstances is punishable by a fine a jail time.

There have been several idea thieves on this site, and aside from pointing them out and telling them to stop, there really isn't anything anyone can do. You've pointed him out. Ask him to stop. If he doesn't, well, keep making it known that he's a talentless hack that has to steal ideas from other people. You've got the dates on the comics to prove you had the idea first, so it's not like he has anything in his defense.

i would feel bad for you if he had stolen something that was actually funny or interesting.

still plagiarism is a terrible thing and i for one feel he should be dragged into the street, beaten, and shot. in that order.

I think he should be shot in the street, then dragged into a beating.

I think he should be forced to watch the entire Touched by an Angel boxed set back to back while a trained hamadryas baboon pounds out the drum track to "Hot for Teacher" on his nads using a brass bung wrench.

It seems like you both had the same idea to rip off the show Lost. So you both suck and should be locked up.

I don't see anything wrong with plagiarism. If it isn't copyrighted, it's fair game.

Wow, it's like none of you know the first thing about copyright.

I was plagerized a while back. Then accused of stealing HIS ideas. Because you know, it's the perfect plan.
