I don’t think stealing content from your blog is really a big problem. Google analyzes almost every content and will see that it got stolen, therefore not rank it high. If you want to run a successful blog then there is no way around creating unique, good content.

i have recently studied the autistic disorders, and 2 of the main researchers came out with almost the same designation (autism) for children with “unusual” behaviour, almost at the same time, and none of them knew of each other research. The scientists are Kanner and Asperger.

I do believe that this can happen in blogging, but not has it happens now, to frequently.

about the term stealing, i agree with you, a novelist can add his own flavour, but in the end, he will always give credit to his inspiration sources. Here in Portugal there was a scandal with a young actor that decided to write a theatre play (is this how it is called?), the text he wrote was a complete success and was acclaimed by several critics, until it was found that this play was a not original and was based on a book from an almost unknown writer….

You’re right. Sometimes it is hard to remember where you pick up an idea and I do tend to believe that sometimes the same idea happens to two people at the same time. It has been true in science where two researchers who know nothing about each other come up with the same idea right around the same time. I don’t have examples right now, but I can find them easily. Whether that is an butterfly effect of certain pools of ideas floating around the scientific community or not, I don’t know, but I digress.
But I usually use Google to jump start my memory when I think I have a post idea, just to be sure I haven’t read it before. If I did, then I link out because trackbacks can only help.
Then the question becomes, “How do you define stealing?” If you take fiction down to the plot, there are only a few plot lines in existence. Each novelist adds his own flavor. If I write a post about elephants and spice it up, am I still stealing from Wikipedia or is that something new?
