| - On April 10, 2009, blogger Jon Lachonis, better known as DocArzt, posted a blog entry on his website which accused Olesiuk of plagiarizing blogger Erika Olson, who posted episode recaps on her blog, LongLiveLocke. Lachonis posted a video that showed several similarities between Olson's blog and Olesiuk's videos. The videos, which had been posted after the blog; many of Olesiuk's lines were identical to Olson's own, in both style, prose, and delivery. Olson claimed that she had attempted to contact Olesiuk, but that he had simply brushed her off, claiming co-incidence, then placing the blame on his viewers and fans for copy and pasting the material to him. Searching by Lostpedia administrators revealed that Erika Olson was not the only victim of Olesiuk's plagiarizing; significant portions of his Smoke Monster video had been copied word-for-word from the Lostpedia article about the smoke monster. Lachonis' blog spread throughout the fan community, with reactions being mixed. The general population of users believed that Olesiuk's actions were wrong and clearly plagiarism, while a small group of users either saw no problem with Olesiuk's videos or didn't care. Further, it was discovered that Sean had also used content, word for word, from DarkUFO writer Vozzek69 throughout all of his Season Five videos.
