If you publish your information openly to the Internet, it's hard to then claim that it was private.

Putting it on the internet is not the problem.

Another scientist accessing the information, and using it WITHOUT giving the source of his "discovery" is the problem.

It is a similar phenomenon to plagerism.

Ain't tech grand?
