Copy of my PM to Manu:
Could we post a sticky somewhere (site announcements perhaps) to alert the authors of plagiarism risks when submitting stories to Lit?
Exstory.net is a major site which is pulling stories from Literotica and posting them w/o authors' knowledge. The authors names have been removed from the stolen works.
I have had some of my submissions stolen from Literotica. The content---word for word-- of the stolen work was posted at exstory.net. I notice others' works are being plagiarized. This is the latest find:
http://www.exstory.net/2012/01/25/a-...sarah-colonna/
Note the ref to Literotica in the claim at the top of the story, written by the Lit member.
I know the fair use laws are shady. Still, some of us authors care if our literature is being used to promo other sites or posted for other purposes w/o our consent or knowledge...especially when our author names have been removed.
Help fight plagiarism. Report stolen content .
