Thanks legaiaflame.
Arcie, I’ll PM you about that question… I’d rather not clog the thread up with my feelings on an o/t subject…
And yes, don’t say I didn’t warn you about the OVA.

Lance I just wanted to tell you my Secrets section is back up. I deleted all of your screenshots. And I also deleted the secrets you discovered. Every other secret on my secrets section has been descovered by other people, not just you, so your not the only one to find these secrets. Just look at other guides on gamefaqs under “secrets” many of the secrets you found have priviously been found by other people. Everything is in my own words. I dont need to give you credit because its my own work. You cant say you “ONLY” discovered these secrets. And yes I have split some of the secrets up into parts like you did, but so what.I hope this will please you and end this argument. I just cant bring myself to delete all the work I did. SORRY
Clearly based on my words. It’s blatantly obvious that most of these observations aren’t taken from your own playing of the game; they are based on the descriptions in my work. For some reason you think that it is morally sound to base a work off my own and not even acknowledge the effort I have put in to it.
In case you somehow haven’t got the message yet, THIS IS PLAGIARISM.
No, it’s your adaptation of my work. I have not given you the permission to use my work and make a clearly derivative work based on it, and by not even acknowledging that your work is based on mine you are commiting plagiarism, fraud and a violation of intellectual property laws. What you are doing is illegal. In fact, fuck the legal side of this. What you are doing shows a complete disrespect for me and my intellectual rights, and I will not stand for it.
“So what?” Your arrogance frankly astounds me. YOU HAVE RIPPED OFF MY WORK. IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED, THIS IS WRONG.
This is an open and shut case. You have taken my own original work, made some superficial edits to it and published it on your website without my permission. This is plagiarism and a legal violation, and I will not let it pass.
I will ask you one last time: remove the article from your website. It represents an unauthorised use of my own intellectual property and I do not give you permission to publish it.
If you still refuse to do this, I will have no choice but to contact your web host, 0catch.com. I will explain the situation to them, and they will be obliged to remove the offensive content from their webspace. If they even bother to review your site, they will see the clear violations of intellectual property that you have made; not only plagiarism, but actual copyright infringement. Then they will forcibly remove this content, and possibly your whole site along with it, from their webspace. No budget web host in their right mind messes around hosting sites that feature IP infringing content, because none of them want to be in danger of a lawsuit. Your host, 0catch.com, will in all likelihood not even bother to contact you before they take action.
And of course, your complete arrongance probably isn’t going to make you very popular in this community. Nobody likes a person who leeches off the hard work of others and who will not even apologise for what they have done. It is not up to me, but you may very well be banned from these forums for your conduct, which I assure you is beyond offensive.
This is your last chance.
Jesus Christ Lance! I will take the Fucking thing off my site, but let me say one last thing before I do. Even if it is based on your secrets section it is not in your words its in my words and has no comparison to yours in any way because its in my own words. And I will say this one more time and one more time only. YOU DO NOT HAVE FULL CREDIT FOR FINDING OUT MOST OF THESE SECRETS AS OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES YOU HAVE ALL READY FOUND THEM PRIVIOUSLY IN THE PAST.
I WILL TAKE IT OFF MY SITE FOR YOUR UTTER HAPPINESS. SO THIS IS THE END OF THE DAMN ARGUMENT. AND I DONT CARE IF I WONT BE POPULAR ON THESE FORUMS BECAUSE OF THIS, I TRIED EVERYTING TO MAKE THE WORK MY OWN AND IT FINALLY GOT TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS MY OWN. AND PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT. YOU JUST HAD TO BE AN ASSHOLE LANCE LITERALLY.
As you seem to have completely ignored my above post, let me reiterate the information I quoted from plagiarism.com:
Changing the words of an original source is not sufficient to prevent plagiarism. If you have retained the essential idea of an original source, and have not cited it, then no matter how drastically you may have altered its context or presentation, you have still plagiarized.
As you blatantly copied and pasted my work, changed the superficial wording and tried to claim it as your own, it was plagiarism plain and simple. You retained the idea and essence of my work, the layout, format and presentation of facts, unlike the other online PDS guides which differ from my own (and one another) considerably in the way that they present and express their content:
gamefaqs.com/console/saturn/game/21901.html
Those people clearly wrote their FAQs from scratch. They did not just take someone else’s FAQ, reword it and try to take credit for it. That is plagiarism, and that is wrong.
I am not even claiming to have credit for this. Of course I don’t legally own the facts. Nobody legally owns facts. What I own is the distinctive way in which they were presented, which you quite clearly copied from my work with only superficial rewording and no acknowledgement to myself. The fact that you had the audacity to steal all of my original images to go along with your rip-off of my work frankly astounds me.
This is ridiculous. You tried to rip off my work and call me an asshole for being annoyed about it. It is clear to me that you have little or no respect for the moral rights of others.
