How to steal an Instructable

Step 9Go Find Other Ibles to Steal!

Go Find Other Ibles to Steal!
Now that you've mastered all the things necessary for stealing your first instructable, you are free to take whatever you want! Nothing is safe from your pirating abilities now. First Instructables, then the world! Also, posting lots of useless comments in the forums and on other people's projects is a good way to make people curious who you are and inadvertantly direct them to your stolen instructable. Make sure to link to your own projects as often as possible. If you can combine the links with accusations of theft, you've hit the double bonus. If you can use the Q on your board at the same time, that's 20 points for those of you scoring at home.

You should probably start with stealing less prominent Instructables to build your credibility, and work your way up to the bigger and better ibles after you have more street cred(ability) to back up your claims. Remember, steal from others before they can steal from you! If you have experience stealing other people's instructables, your tips are most welcome. Or, if you've had instructables stolen from you, hopefully you'll be more prepared on how and why this happened so you can avoid such mistakes in the future.

Funny. Following step #2: I wasn't aware I was reading a stolen 'ible until I read the comments. Maybe an irony-purpose made, but it worked. Good job! (both at stealing the 'ible and seamlessly making it pass as yours.) Also, great job at following the instructions!

Hahaha. I fell for it. I wasn't aware I was reading a stolen 'ible until the end. Maybe an irony-purpose made, but it worked. Good job! (both at stealing the 'ible and seamlessly making it pass as yours.)
