It almost makes it easy for thieves to steal, plagiarize or misrepresent their own accomplishments.
Is Michael J. Roman one of those?
According to this blog post by Kelley Robertson, Mr Roman has been copying articles from other sources and posting them on his own blog. And Michael J. Roman is claiming them to be his - even so far as to print his copyright on each article. That suggests that he has some understanding of the importance of copyright.
It also suggests that he might be lacking in integrity.

Further to the Michael J. Roman affair - I just visited his website.
On this page
http://www.michaeljroman.com/Affiliations.html
His title is
"Michael is currently an active member of the following associations:"
Then he lists some impressive sounding orgnizations. But it looks like these are not associations but only Groups on Linked In
What else is not true?
An update passed on to me by Kelley Robertson. The offending website was taken down and Michael J Roman apologized for his error.
Truth can win!
