One thing Ashy Bines should remember through CERT III in fitness is that you are told over and over again to be over cautious in the content you release, ensuring it is not copied from other sources. You are educated to understand that if you like another persons work and you wish to you use it, you are to gain consent or you alter it to your clients suitability. When Ashy plagiarised she failed to do this, that is not naive that is out right stealing.
For those who ‘do not care’ that Ashy has plagiarised that is ok, but what is not ok is the abusive responses they come back with to those that are upset and let down. $69.95 may be pocket money to the people who don’t care, but it may be a tank of fuel, bread and milk to another person. Also, the people who feel let down would have rather given their well earned money to an original fitness guru, who is honest and ethical. If you wrote a book and/or came up with your own work and someone blatantly stole it (word for word) you would not be so happy, especially when permission was not given. We understand that there are many professionals in all range of fields who have similarities, but the difference is that they changed it to their client base and to their liking, unlike Ashy.
