In the past there has been some problems with an individual who "writes" (big understatement) reviews. These reviews are not in his own words. He has been stealing bits and pieces of reviews from writers and makes a few small changes to them and passing them off as his own.
(Richard Tilley is also a writer for Brutiful Entertainment)
Those posts are a year old, but he is still continuing to rip off writers, including such big companies such as Blabbermouth.net and Inquisitr (I have already let both companies know about the incidents of plagiarism).
Here is the Blabbermouth article link about Trixter's new album coming out: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/trixter-returns-with-new-album-human-era (posted out on April 15, 2015)
This is 0dayrox's review which uses some of the similar wording of Blabbermouth and was just posted on June 4, 2015: http://0dayrox.blogspot.com/2015/06/TRIXTER-Human-Era-iTunes-version-2015-bonus-track-Bon-Jovi-Danger-Danger-Night-Ranger.html
EXAMPLE OF SIMILARITIES:
Blabbermouth's: Following on the heels of the successful comeback album "New Audio Machine", TRIXTER is returning stronger than ever.
(a bit further down on your article): The new CD sees TRIXTER sticking to their guns and delivering 11 new choice cuts, with a sound reminiscent of their earlier work which they were well known for in the '90s.
HIS: Following on the heels of the successful comeback album New Audio Machine, TRIXTER is returning stronger than ever, delivering a collection of songs with a sound reminiscent of their earlier work which they were well known for in the early '90s.
HIS: Following on the heels of the successful comeback album New Audio Machine, TRIXTER is returning stronger than ever, delivering a collection of songs with a sound reminiscent of their earlier work which they were well known for in the early '90s.
Blabbermouth's: For fans new to TRIXTER, their sound fits in nicely to an album collection next to BON JOVI, DEF LEPPARD, VAN HALEN, AC/DC and even '70s classic rock mainstays.
HIS: If you're reading this, you know Trixter very well, for younger fans, Trixter sound fits in nicely to an album collection next to Bon Jovi, Danger Danger, Def Leppard, Van Halen and all the late '80 Californian Rock.

Also, he has been known to upload music to his site and allow the public to
illegally grab the music that does not belong to him and he doesn't have
permission to do so! Not sure he does it still or not, as I do not know where
his illegal music site is now located!

It would be in your best interest to do NO business with this person once so ever!!
Since he has been caught in the past, he has been known to move the reviews from site to site, thinking no one will find them elsewhere!
This is his current site he is posting off of: http://www.0dayrox.blogspot.com
He'll be moving again soon to this link: http://www.0dayrox2.blogspot.com

Still operating here: http://www.0dayrox.blogspot.co.uk/
Same site set up.. same stolen reviews! Why so many of the same sites with the same reviews?
According to the PAYPAL button on his site(s), his email information is: sandfordford@aol.com
I would have never found out that he is still operating and doing plagiarism (still) if I wasn't looking through "review links" on a site checking out albums.

How to deal with Plagiarism and Online Content Theft
Most of us are creators when on the Internet. We think and we post our thoughts to websites, forums, blogs and social networking sites. We work on articles, tutorials, how-to’s and more! As soon as you post your thoughts or research to the Internet, it becomes your property. You automatically get copyright to the material – be it a blog, an e-book or your web-page. Very few countries require you to register your work for copyright and any work of you – digital or on paper – cannot be used by anyone else without your written permission. But like in real life, there are people on the Internet who will simply pick up your work and publish it as their own. This is known as Plagiarism
Plagiarism and Online Content Theft
An argument arises that when the person – who picked up your work to use it elsewhere – is giving a back link to your work, it is not copyright infringement. But it is not the case.
If any person uses any of your work – no matter how small it is – for any of his/her personal benefits irrespective of whether or not he gives you the attribution, it is copyright infringement unless that person has a written permission from you.
Understanding Copyrights, Patents And Trademarks
The Intellectual Properties Act covers three specific areas:
- Content in any form: text, artwork, sound and video including animations
- Ideas and Inventions: Includes inventions that are still on paper
- Symbols: Business trademarks
For symbols, you have to get them registered as trademarks so that others cannot use them for their profit. Trademarks generally apply to products and services that are more of a tangible nature. Ideas and inventions need to be patented and they are the property of the person who gets them registered. While for inventions (patents) and symbols (trademarks), you need some sort of paperwork, you do not need any kind of paperwork for claiming rights to anything that YOU created. Once your work is published – irrespective of whether on paper or digital media – you own the sole rights to:
- Use the work,
- Allow reuse,
- Allow derivatives and
- Allow others to make profits out of your work.
If you are the copyright holder, it means that ONLY YOU are allowed to make copies of the work and should you wish – others and only the ones to whom you give written permission can use the work.
Internet Vs Public Domain
It has been stated, that the works available in Public Domain can be reproduced without the explicit consent of the creator (copyright holder). Since one can easily access anything posted to Internet, she or he may confuse it with Public Domain. This is not the case. Internet is not a synonym of Public Domain. Internet is a place where exchange of information happens. People upload their exclusive works to the Internet. Since the copyright act says that creators hold the copyright to their work published in digital form, others do not have the right to use it without the creator’s permission.
Most of the countries have common practices when it comes to copyrights. Under this common practice, a work belongs to public domain under three cases:
- The copyright holder gives up his/her copyright by stating that others can use it freely
- More than 50 years have passed since the death of copyright holder
- If the creator is government agency (not applicable to non-public processes)
This means that you can copy as much Shakespeare as you want and no one can sue you for it. There are many Public Domains resources available on the Internet. Examples of Public Domains are: CreativeCommons.org and Wikipedia.org. Even in cases of Public Domains, you need to see if the creator wants you to attribute the work to him/her. For example, you can copy-paste text from Wikipedia but you will have to mention the Wiki author’s name and maybe a backlink to the original article on Wikipedia. Just check out the bottom of the pages to see if the work is available for copy and if yes, the conditions on which the work is available for copying.
How To Protect Your Online Content
Though not mandatory, you can use some steps to prevent people from copying your work in any form. You must have already seen the copyright symbol: a circle with C in it and/or a circle with P in it. Both convey that the work is protected by copyright act and others should ask the copyright holder for written permission before using the work as it is or as a derivative. Such symbols are regular on book-covers, CD/DVD covers and even on some websites.
On the Internet, you can send out strong signals to deter copying by using a banner from either http://www.copyscape.com or http://www.dmca.com. While this may not work for sure, it may atleast deter some, and show that you take plagiarism seriously. Both companies are into detection of plagiarism on the Internet and provide free banners of different sizes that suggest that copying the contents of that webpage may lead to copyright infringement. If you put the banner and/or the copyright symbol with copyright holders’ name and email address in the footer, it should appear on all the pages of your website. Remember that the symbol with P in a circle should be used only for audio as it denotes phonogram.
You get the general idea, you can visit "The Windows Club" site for further information, such as "STEPS TO TAKE IF YOUR ONLINE CONTENT IS STOLEN" and how to "REPORT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WITH GOOGLE"!!
Be sure to visit the Copyscape and DMCA sites to obtain banners for your site!
Also, you can easily see for yourself, that 0dayrox has plagiarized so many writers, just pick any of his reviews, and simply add the text in the box at the following site: http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker
