agt_spooky posts the ratings for last week’s Supernatural episode to the supernatural_tv community, telling everyone to “feel free to repost this information, but if you do, please credit me, as it takes me awhile [sic] each week to compile all of this. Thank you!”.
saerie mocks the idea that the reposting of ratings should be credited. agt_spooky immediately overreacts and flounces, and the lone voice of reason is drowned out by a sea of people telling her not to be mean.
I don't think you get something. She's not "sharing", she's making. She doesn't copy paste these numbers from somewhere.
It turns out that copying-and-pasting is exactly what she does, as the numbers are directly taken from this forum. The flounce continues in agt_spooky’s lj, along with a promise to never ‘compile’ ratings for anyone ever again. One respondent politely asks what exactly it is that she compiles. The answer: “I go to Marc's site to get the preliminary numbers for every show then check back to get the finals as well. Does that not count as compiling?”
It doesn’t, but that’s okay becausesaerie has clearly learned the error of her ways. With the dissenters browbeaten into submission and everyone believing that copying and compiling are the same thing, the internet was once again a really nice place to be.
ETA:agt_spooky claims she had to turn off anon commenting in her lj due to people dropping by and calling her a bitch. Did anyone see any of these anon flames? [Answer: yes.]
ETA 2 (a relevant one this time!)agt_spooky's problems with the concept of ownership extend to selling pirated DVD's for a profit.
