copyleft 

The opposite of copyrights. Redistribute and copy what you will. If anyone wants to make improvements, amendments, alternations, changes...call them what you will... they are utterly free to do so. But, the user cannot restrict access to the base material of the changes they've made.

The fundamental problem is that copyright pretends that information is property.
- Ian Clarke, developer of Freenet

COPYLIFT 

~ COPYLIFT (v.)

~ COPYLIFTING, COPYLIFTED (v.)
~ COPYLIFTER (n.)

Similar to shoplifting (stealing) in the 3D world, COPYLIFTERS take original text from another online source and relocate it into a blog or social media page, etc. What's worse, COPYLIFTING never gives credit to the original author of such information, nor are links to the original web source provided.

I invented the word 'COPYLIFT,' and now everyone is using it online!
