This code was created by the devilishly handsome, infinitely charming, world renowned SQL rockstar Thomas LaRock. You can stand in the shadow of his greatness over at thomaslarock.com–but warning, it’s a pretty big shadow!

STOP! Why use the stolen material if you can get the original for the same price (FREE 🙂 ) !!

I won’t win though… Since the issue seems to be that tynt appends to any cut and paste just say something like:

“Copyright 2010 Tom LaRock. All blog content is originally published on thomaslarock.com and is not licensed for public use elsewhere without prior approval.

All code samples are provided without license and are free for use. No warranty is provided with code samples and this, as all samples, should be tested before use in your environment”

You get your point out that it is plagiarized if it is on a blog someplace and it is one of those lazy plagiarizers who does copy and paste and doesn’t clean anything… You allow folks to take a code sample without feeling insulted… You protect yourself from someone running your code sample in their environment while forgetting (like the woman with the McDonalds Coffee did about the temperature) to test code from the intertubez..

Everyone is happy, no one is insulted and you can feel good knowing that those other sites plagiarizing the SQL community for their 550 hits a year will be found out.

Gethyn,

Thanks for the comment, and thanks for reading. No need to take sides, JK and I are on the same side in this matter actually. And I am rethinking the usage of the notice altogether.
