Isn’t it nice when you discover that someone has copied articles that you’ve written onto their site? The blog in question has no email addy and comments have been closed. They are copying whole posts. The site is called Garden Tips. I’m not giving it a link since it’s stealing my information.
I have the IP address, and I know who their host is, and I even know there domain registration information. I wrote to the owner yesterday politely asking them to remove my article from their site but they haven’t replied. I suppose I’ll have to take further action in the morning since they have used an article with my copyright without my permission.
If the thief is reading this post – remove it now. Otherwise I’ll work towards having your thieving site shut down.
At this point I don’t feel like adding any more informative articles to this site. Don’t worry I’m sure I’ll change my mind, but that’s how this theft has made me feel.
wow. That’s more than terrible…I had no idea this was happening. I’m so sorry.
I have not had any posts stolen but if I ever do I hope they fix all of the typos and grammatical errors in my posts first! :0)
And did you ask for permission to use that picture at the top of your previous post?
Really?!?
Thought not.
6000 uh yeah I got that photo from a site that I have a paid MEMBERSHIP at that sells photos and offers Royalty free photos. A site that the photographer actually uploads their photos to for that purpose.
Never assume.
When I put anything on the net, it’s a given someone is going to use it, a photo, a story, information. You know that as well as I do. Some people are thieves. Those people have no information, talent, or knowledge of their own to share and must steal someone else’s to gain a little attention. Other people will give the original author credit. That’s fair. Whether you choose to let the thieves alter your life is up to you.
