At Creativity-Portal.com we care deeply about the creator’s copyright and will not publish or host content that knowingly infringes on other’s intellectual property, nor will we promote authors who engage in plagiaristic practices once they are brought to our attention.
Earlier this month when we were informed that an author with articles published on the Creativity Portal (and other Web sites) had plagiarized someone else's work, we immediately removed his content and released this follow-up news article to inform our readers.
