Is this Man a Thief?
The Internet and social media makes it easy for almost everyone to publish their knowledge or opinions for the world.
It almost makes it easy for thieves to steal, plagiarize or misrepresent their own accomplishments.
Is Michael J. Roman one of those?
According to this blog post by Kelley Robertson, Mr Roman has been copying articles from other sources and posting them on his own blog. And Michael J. Roman is claiming them to be his - even so far as to print his copyright on each article. That suggests that he has some understanding of the importance of copyright.
It also suggests that he might be lacking in integrity.
