you’re welcome.

I guess that wouldn’t leave much…

Did you happen to know that OOW presentations are copyrighted by Oracle Corporation? Please do yourself a favor and remove the stolen post from the slideshare site!

Stop trying to pick fault in others and just hold your hands up to what you’ve done. By constantly trying to defend your stance you just make the whole argument worse. The long and short of it is you’ve been stealing other people’s content and passing it off as your own. The very first post you ever put on your blog was an article you stole from me. There is no more discussion needed.

If I were you I would:

- Remove any content you have stolen from your blog.
- Remove derivative work that is on your blog. By that I mean articles that are almost entirely stolen, with a few modification made by you.
- Keep your head down and let it all blow over.

Everyone is entitled to make mistakes, but when you do it repeatedly for a couple of years, then make a fuss when you get found out you don’t endear yourself to anyone.

Cheers

Tim…

Seems that you also changed your understanding ….

You wrote earlier:

Suffice it to say, one must acknowledge and credit sources for published materials unless it is one’s original material.

I just want to clear the air on this matter once and for all. US and international copyright law applies to both web and printed media as well as recorded media. I make it a key point to reference sources of material in my blog and written papers and books. If you notice in my books, there is an exhausting reference section that details the many Oracle My Oracle Support (formerly Metalink) notes, technical papers and references for material I write.

I have asked Guenadi Jilevski to please address this issue with all parties to make it correct if he has not credited sources of technical materials published.

The presentation that he posted recently is way too similar to the presentation that I gave at OOW 2008 “Undocumented Oracle DBA Utilities: Black Magic for the Oracle Expert”:

Sooner or later he will get sued and learn a hard lesson.

It has been there earlier.

“Any publicity is good”

Either he aims to get more blog hits or wishes to bump his credentials while his book is being published. as anyone who checks his profile will think that he is a expert and contributed to oracle community immensely.

Thanks for your support. It is unfortunate that I had to be involved and after the fact. Needless to say, I have ended any dealings with Jilveski.

I wish he tried to steel something from DB – it’d be fun to watch. He even blogged about it.

I believe that Guenadi has prosecuted himself – anybody who is looking for his name, will find number of blog posts about his behavior. Any descend hiring process will reject such candidate.

I see that there is a list of Oracle Certified Masters at http://www.oracle.com/technology/ocm/ocm-10g.html and I’d advise Jivelski to get his name on that list, or people might question whether he is entitled to claim OCM status on his blog. Just to be sure, that is.

Cheers

Tim…

It is unfortunate that Guenadi does not understand copyright and fair use laws with respect to content published on blogs and other media. I have asked him to apologize for this wrongful behavior. I am saddened to see this sort of thing happen.
