Re:Plagiarism vs, Idea Implementation (Score 1)

Just by the process of placing some blog story in a major newspaper you make the story marketable for the newspaper audience. More accurate though, you make a product out of the blog story (idea). Why it is assumed that implementation of the blog idea should involve text modifying? I, for one, have a lot of ideas. None of them are the marketable products now, while they are all in my blog entries. If a major newspapers publish my idea word-to-word without mentioning me as an idea creator, I would be flattered. I would prefer to have myself credited, of course, but c'est la vie - better something than nothing. Better be anonymous author of a successful idea/product than to bury your idea in your own mental grave.
