Creators and Credits

Do Creators Get the Credits Always?

Imagine you write a book, your own thoughts, ideas, interpretations,effort and research. Will you just publish the book, with NO mention of YOUR name? Will you give the book away without taking any credit for your hard work? Very few will indeed do this. Then how about Softwares and Scripts, the blessed code, debug, scrutinize and develop. No doubt, they shall add their name or put a mention of something, owned by them. If you are a regular user of orkut and orkut scrap all script, then you should be knowing about the tiny, yet colourfully decorated, 'ad' that catches up your attention in most scraps from your friend.

Most of these 'ad's will have links to orkut communities, that attract members with javascripts and tricks, especially for a cool orkut experience. I found this in a blog.

There are many scripts which claim to send scraps to all your friends. But most of them send scraps with a line written below " TO SEND SCRAPS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS CLICK HERE" and your are caught that you havent send any personalised scrap to your friend instead you have used a script for the purpose but the following script do the job neatly without any ad!!!!

Well the script was a quick copy paste, with an edit to remove the ad. But, what made me angry was no words where mentioned about, from where the script was obtained or who had coded the prototype. That's simply NOT FARE. Well, the credits where not completely removed from within the code. The comments by the Debajyoti, within the code weren't removed.

Here is the file where the code was saved. : http://bitsnbytes.org.in/data/scrap%20all.txt

So friends, are you using something which you compiled from some other source? Please do mention about it, it shall make a great difference to you and them. I Promise.
