We just received a message from Carlo, a writer for [among other zines] AAAPunkrock.com and the UFWZ. He claims that we posted his review of the Swallowing Shit anthology that is posted here without his permission. I looked, and it is the exact same review. Now here's the part I hate: Boys and girls, what just took place is called plagiarism [thanks Josip]. In college, you can be expelled for it. I know this isn't as big of a deal, but come on kids, use your heads. Don't submit someone else's review. If you think it should be on here, then email the writer and tell him or her to submit it, but don't do it yourself. That's a violation of their rights, as silly as it may sound. And Carlo, I'll add your name to the review immediately.

Aubin's Statement: For the record, since we accept reviews from anyone who shows up, it's difficult to tell if it's from somewhere else. We're just trying to build a great reviews database, and with over 400 in here now, it's going well. Of course, we don't want uncredited reviews, and I don't post reviews without a name attached. But it's nearly impossible for me to validate that the review is wholely original, especially since some 'zines do "syndicate" their reviews here (which is fine by the way)
Bottom line is this: If you wrote a review, and you don't think it belongs here, let me know and it'll be removed, and we'll figure out what happened. We're a community here, and let's not get too pissed off, is all.
