Yehey… stealing?!

While I was driving from one of my favorite eateries, I received a strange text from one of my colleagues from work. One of the articles published in Yehey had seemed to create a stir… with one blogger in particular.

The owner of the blog Twoisequaltozero accused Yehey.com of stealing his article and publishing his work without his consent. A reply was quickly placed by Biz-Dev Officer Iggy Javellana aka tarugoman, in an effort to adress the situation.

Let me, however, put this issue to rest with an official statement from the Channels Department of Yehey.

1. The article in question was given to Yehey by its partner MCA Universal as a routine press release / article for publication

2. The said article had no instructions to credit any source or backlink any blog

We are not in the habit of stealing content or plagiarizing any work. Nor will we ever get into that habit. I don’t want to point any fingers or place the blame on anybody, at this point, until al issues have been resolved. As of this post being published, we have removed the “offending” article, until all parties have come to a general understanding of the process of publishing any material on the web.

I have been with Yehey for 6 years, myself, and have had my work reworded and republished. Of course, I did this PR work, so understandably, my work was passed on as general info to be used and abused.

Mr. Twoisequaltozero, thank you for taking time out to clarify the situation and rectify your original post. We don’t know where the connection got lost, but we hope to avoid any similar situations in the future.
