I have just been informed that there is a guy named Michael Yip has been stealing some of my articles and making it seem like her wrote them. Now, I don’t know why he would do such a thing, maybe he REALLY liked the article. But as you can see, he even changed the date on it to make it seem he wrote it almost 1 year before I did - which is impossible of course. I really don’t know why this Michael Yip idiot wants to do with taking these articles and making them his own, but its not very community oriented (especially without giving credit to the author).Here is my article:

Here is his post:
http://zique.blogsome.com/2007/02/17/salsa-technicals-the-yin-and-yang-of-salsa/
Here is a pic of the article on his page in case he takes it down. Someone asked him to take it down, but he hasn’t responded yet. Why do people do this, don’t they know they can get caught?
UPDATE: I guess he has infringed on numerous other articles (see comments below). I sent an email to legal@blogsome.com about his infringement as well. Hopefully he sends an apology soon (and takes the rest of the articles down).
UPDATE: I guess he doesn’t even use his own pictures on the article.
He did not only get his inspiration from Anthony, but also from Loony’s former picture! (the moving picture of two dancers)
What a loser.
Inspiration? He just copied it literally !
That are the risks of the internet, i suppose…
I agreed. We should do a compaign against this guy.
Interesting blog entry here…

Why is he so nice?

Now thats really lame. I hope he gets rejected by every girl that he asks to dance with. Maybe that’s why he’s dancing with a guy in that picture.
pssst hire a hijacker shut his website down…. u did not get that from me :O
this guy is worse than the hamburgler. i’m surprised he didn’t take credit for your videos either
Freakin loser.
Wow, that’s just really lame
Thank you to everyone. I sent an email to legal@blogsome.com and to Micahel Yip about his infringement. I appreciate the others who sent an email as well - everything helps. Hopefully he’ll send an apology.
Dear Anthony and all the addicted2salsa readers,
First of all, would like to apologize for the stuff I’ve taken from here to post on my blog, I’ve since removed them. Am sorry for the the problems created.
I’ve since removed them from my blog.
Sorry again.
Michael
At least he won’t have the submarine “boop” =)
