Concerns With Adult Beat
So I was checking out the new AdultBeat.com site today when I noticed that TAW's interview with Hamilton Steele was posted, or at least part of it. When I saw the article headline I assumed that this would merely be a link to our article page, since I certainly didn't give anyone permission to republish our work in regard to this article. Unfortunately that's not what happened.
First problem, at the top of the interview it says "By Duke Floored" who I assume is Luke Ford?? This interview was conducted by TheAdultWebmaster.com's Jennifer Leigh and nobody else, and I have not given permission to anyone to post it. So while I'm not sure if Luke is really trying to take credit for the interview or not, it certainly appears that way since neither Jennifer nor TheAdultWebmaster.com are mentioned anywhere.
Second problem, the link back to the source interview is done in such a way that hardly anyone will know it's a link or that there's more to the interview. So in other words, most people who see this interview on AdultBeat.com will give "Floored" credit without having any clue who actually did the work.
Hopefully all this was just an oversight that will be quickly corrected. A lot of work goes into creating features such as Jennifer's interview with Hamilton. If AdultBeat.com wants to post a brief portion or highlight of one of our features, clearly giving credit where credit is due, and then link to the full feature in a way that isn't misleading then that's certainly something I'm open to agreeing to...
