This morning seemed just like any other before I switched my computer on and linked to
Conductive Wo
rld to catch up with Andrew's postings. What I found there has left me a little nonplussed and needless to say very surprised, as well as a little angry, disheartened, disappointed - and also curious.

The blog mentioned
Conductive Education World Hungary at
http://www.conductive-education-world.blogspot.co.uk/
contains a lot of material from my blog which has taken considerable time and effort (and knowledge) over the years to compile. Whilst I am more than happy for people to make use of it in whatever way suits them, I would have expected, or even just hoped, that some acknowledgment would have been made on where the information came from.
Why hasn't it?
Why has it been posted in such a jumbled mess, no organisation at all?
Who has done this?
More to the point why has it been 'pirated' at all? A simple link to my blog would have been much easier and simpler to do.
Strangely enough Andrew and I had a conversation about plagarism only yesterday afternoon and agreed that as individuals there is little one can do to stop it, with acceptance and resignation all that is open to us. Copyright laws are too complicated and trying to implement them is a very expensive business. Universities, colleges and schools can penalise students for so doing, whenever they are spotted, but I (and anyone else whose work is used in this way) have no such options.
Come on konduktorba, let us know who you are and why you have done this!
In doing this you are only cheating yourself and as we have seen elsewhere cheats are usually found out in the end.
