I've received something about liver health which I like very much. For the first time, I wanted to beautify it (the original was in a mess) and publish it here. I have stated on the top that I am not the author. I just published it, but began to wonder whether it is actually allowed. Any simple answer? Thanks!
What you have just described here is plagiarism. Acknowledging that you are not the author is still a violation of the original author's copyrights, as you do not have their express permission to reuse and repurpose their work. "Beautifying" in this context is still stealing.
If you read an article you like, and want to reproduce it, the right thing to do is ask the author's permission to use it. Just crediting them in your Hub isn't enough.
if this is published anywhere else on the net it will be determined as duplicate and later removed - if it is written by you in a way that is not published anywhere else then that should be ok...if the content is someone elses work then acknowledge that or it is plagarism.......
Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, I did acknowledge the work belonged to others. I'm concerned whether this would affect my hubscore? Though I know it may not mean that much, I just don't want see a low score, it's fun to have a higher number :-)
Also I do have few duplicates that were written by myself but have also been submitted to free articles sites. It has been a while, none of them ever got removed. Are you sure they would remove them later? How long?
Duplicate content that you have written and published in different places will not be removed; at most you will get a warning, and the score may drop. In case of copyright infringement, contents may be removed or unpublished.
I have written a hub about how to avoid publishing unlawfully copied content by writing a review.

Why does my hub keep saying it is a duplicate? It is my work. I even made many changes many times.I deleted it, rewrote it and tried to publish it again, after having made many changes. Still it says duplicate. It should not say this. It is my work.

I just had an idea to maximize traffic for myself and my articles. One I reach anywhere between 50 and 100 hubs, I would remove all of my less successful hubs, transfer them to another website, and either publish all of them at once or publish a bunch and add the remaining ones over a period...

Are we allowed to republish our articles elsewhere and keep the original hubs here in the mean time?

Hi,It has been a while since I added new content and published two new articles today (the Valentine articles). I got emails "Your article could be featured", so I went in to remove a couple in-text links I added, leaving two Amazon capsules for each article (they range between 1,000 -...

A hub of mine was recently put through HubPro Basic. That means photos were removed, a bunch of the text was reworded, and one or more links to educational and supportive resources were removed. A few grammar errors crept in, a photo was moved so it's no longer near the section it relates to, and...

How Many visitors do you get in one day on your hubs if you have written approx 150?The reason why I ask is that I have seen so many people on the forums stating they have at least 1000 a day. This is fine but they only have 22 hubs! is it just me, or am I missing something? perhaps my hubs are...
