Theft is a Crime, Even When You Get Away With It

The page you were looking for, which describes the Noguchi filing system, has been removed. Nothing to fret over, however. It has been stolen from me, including graphics I myself created, numerous times by slimey cybercriminals, and so might be available elsewhere.

However, if you cannot find the stolen content somewhere on the Internet, you have two options.

  • Learn Japanese and read about it yourself. A quick learner will be able to do that in 5 or 10 years.

    • or

  • (a) Have someone find the material (in one or more of Noguchi's Japanese-language books), (b) have a professional translator translate enough of Noguchi's material to form the basis of an article (as opposed to stealing the content of an article by someone who did just that by translating it and publishing as is—I am not definitely not encouraging yet more criminal activity--that is why I wrote new content describing the Noguchi system), and (c) have someone digest the content from the standpoint of a user and write a description of the content that Noguchi wrote (as opposed to stealing someone else's). I estimate that the cost would be at least 4,000 USD, probably more than the usual cyberthief would want to invest in such a project, but we all know that information is supposed to be "free" on the Internet, right?

The advent of the Internet does not mean that the rulebook was discarded. It does not mean that owners of intellectual property need to give up their rights to that property.

Naturally, most Internet theft is the work of criminals hiding behind the veil of anonymity provided to them by the very technology that makes their crimes so easy.

Anonymity aside, if I ever learn the real identity of any of the slimeballs who have stolen my website content, I assure readers (and them) that I will take decisive action.
