Google's Breaking the Internet?

I think someone's got their knickers in a knot over a couple of things that aren't technically G+/Google's fault, here. 1) If you quote someone else's work, you should attribute it, full stop, regardless of the platform you share it on. On social media networks, it can get a little tricky to share links and do proper attribution. One of my favorite tools is the bit.ly extension available for FireFox and Chrome.

And then to make the "Well, it was just someone using our IP address" excuse… People, it doesn't get any better than that. Particularly when you can prove that, no, those IP addresses actually do belong to the RIAA. It's like the happiest little Christmas story ever. #ImSoBloggingThis #RIAA #Piracy Embedded Link You Won't Believe the RIAA’s Pathetic Excuse For Their...
