How to make the Internet very very angry: 1) Steal the work of a writer, publish it in your magazine, and when said writer addresses the copyright infringement, say that writing on the Internet is public domain and tell the writer they should thank and compensate you for stealing and “editing” their work  2) Have word get out via popular writers like Maud Newton, John Scalzi, Neil Gaiman, and countless others.
