What can be done

about something like this? (a pm I got today)
"plagiarist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi.
I just wanted to let you know that a plagiarist has posted one of your poems, "Laid Bare", on her AFF site.
This person has had over 80 stolen pieces on her site, and has since deleted about half of them.

I've managed to contact several of the original poets and writers, but even though we have all reported her, nothing much is being done.
The more writers that complain to them, hopefully will make her take the plagiarized writing down.

This is the url: she calls it "Searching to Fight My Demon"

http://adultfriendfinder.com/blog/Pi...42952159_14786

She often goes private (a great way to hide, or so she thinks)...and I don't know if you can access the page without registering, but I do have screen shots.

Just let me know if you need them."


I just went to the site and it won't let me view this persons blog unless I pay the site.
I really don't like that someone is using something that is MINE.
What can I do?

Can you look at the rules of AFF's site without paying? I would assume that you cannot post copyrighted material. Where was your poem published - here? There is a date then, no doubt. I would email the operators of the AFF site and say you have discovered that someone with a blog on their site is publishing your copyrighted material, (likely) in violation of the posting rules for the site. It's their (AFF's) blog, so they can take it down. Keep it matter of fact and to the point.

I just tried that. Lets see if they answer me or remove it.

Not much. Putting something on the web is like leaving something on the curb.
