It has come to our attention that several tech sites are shamelessly stealing our content without providing any credit.

Without a doubt, the single biggest offender is Guru3D, often this website doesn't even bother to rewrite our blurbs and presents DV Hardware's writing as their own after doing little more than a copying & pasting job. What bothers me the most is there are people on forums thinking I'm doing the stealing, while it's the other way around!

Here are two recent examples but I can assure you these are not isolated cases and that this has been going on for YEARS. Here's our take on upgrading to Windows 10 not making pirated copies legit:

And here's how Guru3D presents it after chopping up our article, without providing credit to anyone.

Here's our take on Star Citizen being huge:

And this is what comes out of the other site, once again I'm shocked to find my own writing embedded in the article without any linkback nor credits.

And what about this... from 2013? Here they didn't even bother to change a single word.

Is it so hard to provide credit and a linkback to the original source when you write an article?
