RxMuscle Plagiarizes Brett Michaels interview
« on: February 09, 2011, 11:42:24 AM »
If any more proof were needed, the RxMuscle owner and staff have gone out of their way to prove that they’re a bunch of theives. They actually stole a f*cking published article from a f*cking diabetes website, and tried to pass it off as their own unique piece. As if we’re all going to believe that Brett Michaels granted an interview to some some guy from RxMuscle (Leigh Penmen).

And just so there’s no confusion, this was clearly NOT an example of the site failing to credit the real author by mistake, as it not only appeared on the main page crediting Leigh, but was also promoted by one of their admins, a dude named Sally Anne, in their forums, again claiming it was an original interview for the site.

Seriously? Stealing from a diabetes site? That’s low even for Rx.

This is what happens when you can't generate any original content. I am honestly not surprised although this may be a new low

Was Leigh a writer for rx muscle or a cut and paster?

when did he stop working for you? This was just written 2 days ago.

Singerman do yourself a favor and get the fuck out of there before palumboism over takes you.

She just put up the article. That's the extent of her culpability.

He/she was let go after the article was discovered to be plagiarized.

Its an open and shut case as far as it goes.  Leigh wrote a bullshit article.  Not really RX Muscle's fault unless Dave had full knowledge of it which I'd doubt.  New York Times had a person do the same shit and it happens very often.

Leigh wrote a lot for BB.com and for many years so I'm not sure why she would do that.

Not true. Dave or Sallyanne had to put the article on the website, a red flag should have been raised as soon as they saw the name Bret Michaels. They should have questioned Leigh on how/why Bret would have talked to Rxmuscle. They are ultimately responsible for all the content put on the website. This is extremely embarrassing for RX, they have become the joke of the industry. Aaron's column has been wrong several times and now this, it's a new low.

Well, whether they knew is up for debate.  Like I said, Leigh has written for a number of sites for years so there wasn't any reason to doubt an article written by her.  But they will unfortunately have to deal with the consequences.

The onus was on them to check the source. When you see a celebrity like Bret Micheals that should have been a red flag.

Agreed.  There was no rush on publishing this article and there should have been some checks and balances done prior to releasing the article.  But ultimately its the fault of the person who stole the work.


I checked the source and its from DiabeticMommy.com.  Doesn't look like a major site at all so I don't think Dave will have to worry about any legal action.

If you ever saw the thread on RX Muscle, its obvious that both Dave and SallyAnne knew about it. SallyAnne put up the article thread and Dave was posting about it in the thread. They knew the whole time. I wouldn't be surprised if other articles on that site have been copied from somewhere else. CRIMINALS
