By some random whim, I decided to look at an old presentation that I did for a local meetup on mobile application monetization. At the end of the presentation, I clicked on a similar presentation on the same topic to get a feel of the landscape.<p>Then, I noticed that this Microsoft presentation put together by a Microsoft employee is mostly a complete word-for-word rip-off of my presentation — he even stole my charts verbatim.<p>Personally, I don't care that he did it - I mean, a simple mention would've been nice, right? Food for thought.<p>My presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/richf23/mobile-app-monetization-and-business-models<p>His presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/MoMoManila/mobile-monetization-strategies-in-microsoft
If you feel like hes really copied your work without giving you credit, approach him over email or twitter privately, and ask him to rectify it.<p>Make sure you keep a copy of the original, infringing slideshow of his, incase he tries to change it after the fact and cover things up.<p>If he is uncooperative or unresponsive, escalate the issue. Take it to other members of the MS team on twitter, on fb, etc etc. Avoid direct attacks on this persons character, and instead make sure to frame it as you, the original author, just wanting his proper credit. If you can build up pressure, at the very least he'll be shamed away from doing this sort of thing again.<p>But try to reach out to him in a professional, non threatening manner first. You might be surprised by the response you get
This is Rashmi from SlideShare.<p>We have considered some way for people to officially acknowledge their inspiration by someone else's presentation. That might have helped in this case.
