Really? Would someone posing as me and blurting out nonesense have added anything to the conversation? I’d say anybody who has reached this point realizes that I’m not stifling the other side of this debate.

It’s a bit hypocritical to delete comments when that is what you have insulted sean for doing

It seems slightly hypocritical to delete comments when you insulted sean for doing that on his youtube page

Who cares if he plagerized, the idea of his site is so that lost fans can go and get a little more information about the show, and find things out they would have missed i dotn really think this is a big idea, its not like its possible he could have had the same ideas and someone else worded it better than he did, you guys need to take a chill pill and relax its not that big of a deal, i agree with the king of all fans its a tv show we all love leave him alone and get a life

This is arguably not the most significant case of plagiarism in history, and accordingly, there are people here saying “no big deal.” Flawed logic: just because this is not earth-shattering doesn’t mean that it is also NOT plagiarism.

It sounds like the bloggers he ripped off just want acknowledgement for what was taken from them verbatim. Now THAT is “no big deal” and what this doof should have done in the first place.

That sucks, dude. I read LongLiveLocke and Vozzek69 each week and love their takes on the show. No, the guy isn’t stealing Shakespeare but have the decency to credit your sources. One uncredited source on a college paper can get you kicked out of school. I have water cooler conversations and distinguish what I came up with vs what I’ve read (I’m the guy in the office that reads all the posts and listens to all the podcasts.) It is easy for the many theories to integrate into the collective unconscious but DocArzt’s video shows that this is just blatant thievery. That sucks, dude.

Wow! This is my first time posting on this awesome site. You and everyone else who contributes to this site does a great job Doc. I thought Id put my two cents in to this whole dilema. First of all I understand those who say its just a show calm down. I agree somewhat. Lost is a great show where communicating your theories and ideas are about just as fun as watching the show itself. Everyone knows this. We all wrap our heads around the same shots and quotes and mysteries of the show. Im sure we have all agreed and disagreed on such matters. That is where it ends though. What Mr. Seannie B has done is downright despicable. I dont come from a writers standpoint as you can tell by my laziness in not using paragraphs. I come from a musicians POV. Music can be shapeshifted into anything you feel or emote into something quite beautiful or haunting or sad or whatever have you. But if I was to go and use Mr. Giannchinos (hope I spelled that right) say for example his raft theme from Exodus and pass it off as my own Im sure he woukdnt be pleased about. Not only that but I would rob myself of being original and doing something to stand on my own. I dont think Sean should be crucified or vilified. What is for certain is that he must apoligise to Erika and anyone he stole blatant word for word from. Once thats done send him to smokey to be judged. In closing Ill give Seannie B a little piece of advice. As Mamma Cass once sang MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC.

Nobody can tell ya;
There’s only one song worth singin’.
They may try and sell ya,
’cause it hangs them up
to see somone like you.

But you’ve gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sing along.

So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin’,
I will understand.

You’re gonna be knowing
the loneliest kind of lonely.
It may be rough goin’,
just to do your thing’s
the hardest thing to do.

But you’ve gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin’,
I will understand.

You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

P.S Long live Lost!!!!

You need to learn the difference between “having the same idea” and plagiarizing. It’s VERY easy to avoid plagiarizing. He didn’t even try. You agreed he plagiarized. That is all that matters. Thanks.

Learn the difference between plagiarism and “having the same idea”. They are two different things. It’s VERY easy not to plagiarize. You agreed he plagiarized. That’s all we need. You agree with us.

When you contribute to a community site like a wiki, you are giving up your ownership to that material. When you have your OWN blog with a copyright notice on it, that’s a different subject entirely. You put your work into the public domain. Erica didn’t. That’s the difference, and also – learn the difference between whining and standing up for what is right. Some day when you’ve been wronged, you might hope there are some people who will stand up for you rather than ignoring it and “walking out side and clearing their mind.” This might seem unimportant to you – but it is important to her. And her LEGAL rights HAVE been violated, whether YOU choose to consider it important or not is inconsequential – you are not the law.

Also on a side note, I take pride in saying between season four and season five i’ve created five new lost fans who have watched the dvds from season one. nothing like grassroots recuiting. lol
