Where’s Our Check, Perez?

Perez Hilton’s stealing our content

Do we need to start a PerezWatch to keep track of all the lifting Perez Hilton's doing with our original content? As we've told you time and time again, it's just piss-ass insane when Perez straight up steals our exclusive material and reuses it without giving any sort of credit.

Perez recently reposted our quickie interview with Ashley Greene last Friday and, not surprisingly, didn't even bother to take the extra second and credit his source. No big deal, right?

Wrong. In the spirit of mutual respect among bloggers, it's a big ef-u in the puss to have your stuff get ripped off, particularly on a regular basis. We don't even want to wonder about how many other sources Perez "borrows" from; we'll leave it to others to fight their own battles. (And if there is a source listed somewhere, often it's relegated to one minuscule, hyperlinked word inserted randomly, another snarky strain of ef-u-itis).

We see how bitchy he gets when his "exclusives" are stolen. So let's just consider this one the original pot calling the copycat kettle black.

Or, Perez, you can just cut us a check for ad-dollars sold based on our content—no apology necessary. Your call.
