Kuwait-Music removing watermarks and PLAGIARIZING!

Caesar… you’ve been pretty cool. You wrote an awesome article just for Kuwait Blogs Suck! talking about the blogging scene in Kuwait. I liked you… I really did.

But plagiarism is uncool. And what really irks me is when someone removes a watermark off an image.

Kuwait-Music recently published an article called “3 arguments about music and what they really mean!” on their blog:

This text seemed really familiar to an anonymous Kuwait Blogs Suck! reader. They said that he saw the same article on Cracked.

That is a direct copy paste of text without a source. I tried to look for a link on the page, or some text saying it was from cracked.com, but I found nothing. That is plagiarism. Here’s another screenshot of the plagiarism from the same article:

Kuwait-Music:

Naughty naughty Kuwait-Music.

And you know what else Kuwait-Music does? They remove watermarks off of photos. On Cracked, there was an article about album covers and Kuwait-Music not only posted the same exact post, but also removed the water marks on the photos:

Kuwait-Music does this plagiarism thing pretty often. Here’s an article they copy pasted from Cracked.com about artists that sell out.

Kuwait-Music:

Tsk tsk tsk. What do you have to say for yourself Kuwait-Music? A simple link to the article would’ve been enough, but instead you tried to pass them off as your own. The funny thing is you do it pretty often.

Caesar you are so damn hypocritical. After calling out other blogs that do this type of behavior you’re caught red handed doing the same!

Very unclassy.

UPDATE

Seems like Kuwait-Music is finally putting “From cracked.com” on their articles. They just did it for the 3 articles I posted about here. Hey, that was easy wasn’t it Kuwait-Music? There’s nothing wrong with aggregating content every once in a while, since you do post some quality original material based on the Kuwait music scene most of the time.

    I always felt this guy was full of gibberish. This just further proves my point. Talks about the lack of quality in the local blogoshere then goes and steels content. Not once, but many times.

    LOL. Caesar yal maskhara!
    I guess his blog falls under classification number 4 on his classification link (his post on KBS)
    4. The newspaper cut outs: Blogs that purely exist to copy and paste text from news portals like Kuna, Arab times and Al Rai.
    or number 8. The ugly Copy-Pasta: Blogs that steal content and post it as their own with no remorse and trash talks other bloggers.

    You should know for a FACT that an offensive or scandalous critic is a hypocrite, especially if he/she is actively seeking to criticize others. I’ve seen this throughout my whole life.

    My my my. This is getting interesting by the minute. I thought nothing could beat the Crazyyetwise post but man am I wrong. He’s probably writing an article justifying his crime and how he’s not guilty. Or he’s dug up a hole to live there. Man, pass me some popcorn Grey.

    “Kuwait music is probably the only brand that is based on a blogging platform . We are strong believers in positioning , recognition , brand values and consistency . We are a niche site and unlike many other blogs , were the first to do a heavy online marketing campaign for ourselves when we first launched , send out regular branded newsletters , maintain a consistent brand experience for our visitors through stringent brand guidelines ( online and offline ) and make sure our message abd values are present in everything we do .”

    With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
    Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
    Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,’

    Hello
    My name is rex shevian. Please I need your help. I love writing about inspirational articles about my everyday experience and poetic thoughts. Are there blogs in Kuwait that pay freelance contributors to write to their blogs?? I am looking for Kuwait blogs that I can be writing for and get paid. Please hook me up with such blogs. Thanks
